Cork parish 'at a loss' over couple's accident in the UK
Elber and Con Twomey with their son Oisin.
A County Cork parish is reeling from the shock of a crash in England which claimed the life of a local toddler, an unborn baby, and left their parents in a serious condition in hospital.
Con Twomey and his wife Elber, from Meelin in North Cork, were on holidays in Devon when a car swerved into them head-on.
A Polish man in his 20's was also killed.
Father Dave Herlihy, who officiated at the Twomey's wedding, has said their community is badly shaken.
Fr Herlihy said: "Elber and Conor were just an ordinary couple devoted to each other, making their way in life.
"People are just at a loss at how this can happen, how they can recover from the loss of their son Oisin and their unborn child, so it is just devastating."
