Man dies in hospital after crash that killed his pregnant spouse and unborn child ‘simply days after their wedding ceremony anniversary’
A husband has died in hospital following a crash that killed his pregnant wife and their unborn child in a horror that was said to have unfolded just days after their wedding anniversary.
Nak Ralph Singco and Cathrene Kith Quinones Singco were involved in the smash in Crumlin, Co Antrim, on Sunday afternoon.
Ms Singco, a Filipino healthcare worker, was rushed to hospital but died as a result of her injuries on Monday, with her unborn baby also passing away.
This evening Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) announced that Mr Singco had also died as a result of his injuries in the crash.
The force said several other people sustained minor injuries in the collision between a blue Ford Fiesta and a silver Skoda Superb in broad daylight on Sunday.
Hours before the crash, Ms Singco had shared a one-year-old post on Facebook from her last wedding anniversary.
It was a video of her and her husband dancing in the snow at 3,454m during a trip to Jungfraujoch railway station in Switzerland, known as the ‘Top of Europe’.
The original post celebrating five years of marriage on January 10, 2025, contained the caption ‘cheers to five years of love as husband and wife’.
