I lost my everybody, mother tells crash inquest

The Irish mother who lost her family in a car crash on the last day of their holiday in England yesterday told the inquest: “I lost my everybody.”

Elber Twomey, from Cork, told her story through tears in an effort to make sure that changes are made in police procedures when dealing with suicidal drivers.

“Up to 2.46pm on July 6, I had not a care in the world,” said Ms Twomey. “I was on holiday with my darling husband and best friend Con, our beautiful little man, baby Oisin, and our beautiful unborn daughter. At 2.47pm our wonderful life ended.”
