Several people were injured in the collision
A MAN has died following a major road crash which also claimed the life of a pregnant woman and her baby.

Police said the man, aged in his 30s, died following the collision involving two cars near Nutts Corner in Crumlin on Sunday afternoon.

Cathrene Kith Quinones Singco, who was aged in her 30s, died on Monday.

Police said that she had been pregnant and that her baby also died as a result of the collision.

Today, police announced that the man, who had been a passenger in the car and was critically injured, had died in hospital.

They said a number of other people sustained minor injuries in the collision between a blue Ford Fiesta and a silver Skoda Superb collided on the Moira Road at around 2pm on Sunday.

Police are investigating the crash and have appealed for anyone who witnessed it to speak to detectives.

A police spokesperson said: “We are investigating what happened and require the public’s assistance with our inquiries.

“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 in the Collision Investigation Unit on 101, quoting reference number 735 11/01/26.”

Tragically, just hours before the crash, Mrs Singco re-shared a post on Facebook celebrating her marriage.

She wrote on Saturday: “From traveling as two to traveling as three puhon. Happy 6th year married.”

The post included a video of Mrs Singco and her husband dancing in the snow during a trip to Switzerland.

‘WE LOST AND HEAVEN GAINED’

Tributes have since poured in for the “kind” mum-to-be and her baby, with mourners saying: “We lost and heaven gained.”

One social media tribute said: “You will surely be missed by a lot of people, Kith Qui Singco.

“So proud of what you have achieved and I was so excited on your next chapter -becoming a mom but sad to hear the news. Rest in peace.”

Another added: “Rest in peace Kith and baby girl.

‘YOUR KINDNESS WILL LIVE ON’

“We will never forget your smile, the laughter and the joy you spread and we will treasure all the moments spent together. Your kindness will live on.

“May the angels look after you both in heaven. Prayers for the families and all your friends, may God give them strength.”

A third wrote: “We will miss you so much Kith. May the perpetual light of God continue to shine upon your soul.

“We lost and heaven gained. Sleep well my angel.”
