On April 9th, a 33-year-old Bulgarian man named Ivan Petrov faces charges for causing the deaths of a father and son in a head-on crash near. Kylilia in County, Irma, last December 27, Peter Devlin, 63, and his son Lachlan, 28, died at the scene when Petrov's auntie veered across the road into their Mercedes. He's also charged with causing serious injury to three other family members through dangerous driving. Kylilia of claims he blacked out from low blood sugar as a Type 1 diabetic, saying he ate chocolate to stabilize before driving from Armada to A, pharmacy and post office. But he's got a complicated driving history. He was disqualified here in Northern Ireland, then got a Portuguese license back in 2018, and imported his car from Bulgaria. The crash left devastating injuries on the Devlin side. Peter's wife with a ruptured spleen, broken pelvis, shattered legs, and fractured neck. Another woman with broken ankle, hand, torn ligaments, and ruptured Achilles, and their
five-month-old baby with a fractured skull and brain bleeding. Still needing care, Petrov only had a fractured arm. Now prosecutors are digging deeper, checking if he disclosed his diabetes on that Portuguese license application, or his Bulgarian. Insurance international requests are out to both countries, and more charges could come. Veil's been adjourned again amid flight risk concerns, with his defense saying he's cooperated and lived here a decade. Lady Chief Justice Savon Keegan expressed real frustration over the year, plus delays on this medical issue, warning him might force his release if. Things don't speed up. She wants updates by Monday to finally tip the scales on Veil.
