Relatives are gathered in a vigil for a 10-year-old boy who is in critical condition after a crash in Co Antrim that resulted in the death of a teenager. Christopher Faulkner continues to fight for his life as communities in Limerick and Tipperary rally together to support his family during this difficult time.

Christopher, who is a cousin of Scarlett Faulkner, a Limerick mother who recently passed away after a violent attack, remains in a critical state following the incident that occurred on the Belfast Road early on Sunday, April 26. The collision involved a black Volkswagen Golf and a silver Volkswagen Passat.

The driver of the Golf has been arrested by the PSNI on various driving-related charges. In the tragic accident, a 16-year-old passenger in the Passat, identified as Callum Hutchinson from Co Tipperary, lost his life at the scene.

A vigil is scheduled at St Lelia’s Church in Limerick to offer prayers for Christopher’s recovery and for Callum’s soul. The community is expected to turn out in large numbers to show support for both families and the wider traveler community during this challenging period. The vigil is set to begin at 6.30pm.

Family members of the Faulkner family have taken to social media to seek prayers and support in the wake of this devastating incident. The community has expressed deep sorrow and solidarity, emphasizing the need for prayers and positive thoughts for Christopher’s well-being.

The heartfelt messages circulating on social media echo a sentiment of hope and faith in the face of tragedy. The community is urged to come together in prayer and support for the Faulkner family during this difficult time.
