The young boy receiving treatment in the Royal Victoria Hospital after being seriously injured in the weekend crash that killed his mother is on the mend and is expected to be transferred back to Derry’s Altnagelvin Hospital.
The late Siobhan Hutcheon.
Siobhan Hutcheon (38) was killed instantly when the car she was driving was in collision with a Bus Eireann coach in the townland of Ardee near Newtowncunningham on the main Derry to Letterkenny road on Saturday afternoon.
Her three children, who were in the car with her at the time, were injured, one of them seriously.
All three were taken to Altnagelvin Hospital in Derry from where the seriously injured child was transferred to the Royal.
Mrs Hutcheon, originally from Derry, had been living in Muff, Co. Donegal with her husband, Warren, and their three children, and was travelling to spend the bank holiday at the family mobile home in Kerrykeel when the accident occurred.
Fr John Farren, Muff parish priest, said the children were improving and the family hoped the boy receiving treatment in the Royal would soon be transferred to be with the others in Altnagelvin Hospital.
Mrs Hutcheon’s Requiem Mass will take place in Muff this Thursday with burial immediately afterwards in the City Cemetery in Derry.
