Wexford Woman Calls for Legal Reform After Stillbirth in Tragic Road Crash

A Wexford woman whose unborn son was stillborn following a road crash in January 2024, has called for legislative reform at the sentencing of Yurii Dudek, the man responsible. 

Dudek, who pleaded guilty to dangerous driving, caused a three-vehicle collision on the Rosslare to Wexford Road. 

The woman, 31 weeks pregnant at the time, had an emergency C-section but lost her baby son. 
During the court hearing, she expressed frustration that Irish law does not recognize her son as a separate victim in the incident. 

Dudek, who was in Ireland delivering humanitarian aid for Ukraine, faces sentencing after admitting guilt. 

The judge is due to deliver that sentencing this morning
