‘Selfish drivers oblivious to huge devastation they could cause’, says bereaved Cork woman

Elber Twomey’s pain was etched on her face as she recalled the car crash that wiped out her family five years ago.

She is one of a number of people who took time out yesterday to help launch World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims that takes place on Sunday.

The Cork woman lost her husband, Con, 39, her son Oisín, 16 months, and her unborn baby daughter, Elber Marie, on July 6, 2012, when a suicidal taxi driver, Marek Wojciechowski, drove into their car during a family holiday in Devon.
