Fatal crash claims another life as man dies in hospital
A fatal crash that took the lives of a pregnant woman and her unborn baby has claimed another victim, as a man hospitalised after the incident succumbed to his injuries.
Cathrene Kith Quinones Singco and her unborn child died following the two-car collision in Crumlin on Sunday afternoon.
A man in his 30s, a passenger in the same car who was critically injured in the crash, has now also passed on.
The identity of the man has not been released by police, though a PSNI spokesman said officers “can confirm a man aged in his 30s has sadly died following a two-car collision near Nutts Corner in Crumlin on Sunday afternoon”.
The spokesman added: “The man, a passenger in the car, was critically injured and has sadly died from his injuries. A woman, who was pregnant, also died in hospital from her injuries.
“A number of other people sustained minor injuries in the collision.”
Police are still investigating the crash between a blue Ford Fiesta and silver Skoda Superb, which collided on Moira Road at around 2pm.
Detective Inspector Stewart, from the Collision Investigation Unit, said: “Anyone who witnessed the collision, or who may have any dash-cam footage of the road at the time which could assist with our investigation, please contact us on [non-emergency phone number] 101, quoting reference number 735 11/01/26.”
Over the last 24 hours tributes have been paid to Ms Singco, who it’s understood was originally from the Philippines and was working in Northern Ireland as nurse.
The day before the tragedy, she took to Facebook to voice her hopes of becoming a new family, tagging in her husband, P'Rapz Anthony Sombilon Singco.
The heart-breaking video clip of the couple on holiday last year showed them dancing at the top of a Swiss mountain, and was posted in celebration of six years of marriage and the hope of a new baby together.
She wrote “from traveling as two to traveling as three puhon” followed by emojis of praying hands, crossed fingers and a baby.
Puhon means God willing/hopefully in her own language.
She added: “Happy 6th years married,” followed by an emoji of two hands making a heart sign.
