Relatives are coming together to support a 10-year-old boy who is in critical condition after a tragic incident in Co Antrim that claimed the life of a teenager. Christopher Faulkner’s family is receiving widespread community support from Limerick and Tipperary.
Christopher, who is the cousin of Scarlett Faulkner, recently passed away due to a brutal roadside attack. The collision, involving a black Volkswagen Golf and a silver Volkswagen Passat, occurred on the Belfast Road early on Sunday, April 26. The driver of the Golf has been apprehended by the PSNI on various driving-related charges.
Sadly, a 16-year-old passenger, identified as Callum Hutchinson from Co Tipperary, lost his life at the scene. Christopher was rushed to the hospital, where he remains in critical condition. A vigil is scheduled at St Lelia’s Church in Limerick to pray for Christopher’s recovery and for Callum’s soul, with a large turnout expected to show support to both families and the wider community.
Social media has been flooded with messages of support for the Faulkner family following this devastating accident. Many are urging prayers for Christopher’s healing and expressing condolences for the tragic loss of Callum.
The Faulkner family has been through immense hardship recently, with Scarlett Faulkner tragically passing away after a vicious attack. Her brother, Jason Faulkner, also recently passed away shortly after her funeral. The family continues to need prayers and support during this difficult time.
