‘Mary and Mollie were my future’ says fatal crash victim's husband

An inquest jury has been told to disregard a high alcohol level detected in a blood sample from a 17-year-old killed in a crash, which also killed a woman and her unborn daughter, as it was an “impossible” level.

Robert Stoker from Monkstown, Co Cork, was driving his mother’s car when he “veered sharply” into his incorrect lane, crashing into a car coming the other way being driven by Mary Enright, 28, from Abbeyside, Dungarvan, Co Waterford.

Both drivers were pronounced dead at the scene, about 1km from Bansha in Co Tipperary, and Mrs Enright’s unborn daughter Mollie also died. Mrs Enright was 34 weeks’ pregnant at the time of the crash, which happened at 10.35pm on the night of March 26, 2012.
