The family-of-four had just moved from North Wales to Poland and were in the vehicle together when it crashed into a tree – he mother and young son remain in a serious condition
A father and his baby daughter tragically lost their lives in a horrific car crash, while the mother and son are battling for survival. The family of four had recently relocated from North Wales to Poland and were together in the car when it collided with a tree.
The mother and young son are currently in a critical condition in Poland following the deadly accident. The incident occurred around 10am on Thursday near the northeastern Polish city of Olsztyn, claiming the lives of 30 year old Krzysztof and his infant daughter Natalka, police confirmed.
The family is believed to have resided in Connah’s Quay, in the Flintshire region of Wales, and met with the dreadful accident just days after returning to Poland.
Anna Buckley from the Polish Integration Support Centre (PISC) in Wrexham confirmed the heartbreaking news. She stated: “With deepest sorrow, we share the tragic news of the passing of Krzysztof (30) and his baby daughter Natalka, who lost their lives in a terrible car accident in Poland.”
She added, “This is a Polish family who had just returned to Poland from Flintshire. Fighting for their lives are the 29-year-old mother Justyna and three-year-old son.”, reports the Mirror.
An online fundraising campaign has been launched to assist with the funeral expenses for the young girl who sadly passed away. The appeal, initiated by a Polish support group, has already raised over £1,000.
Anna stated: “At PISC, just a week ago we supported this family with formalities, passports, and transportation back to Poland from the UK. Today, this family needs help more than ever.
“This fundraiser is dedicated to covering the funeral of little Natalka, as well as potential rehabilitation and psychological support [for the son and mum], should they survive. We kindly ask for your prayers and any financial support you can offer.”
Buckley, in her capacity as the Director of the UK-based Polish Integration Support Centre (PISC), was requested to aid in the repatriation of a Polish family – Krzystof Lewandowski and Justyna Petryszyn along with their two children – back to their homeland.
She explained: “I helped to obtain a passport for 2-month-old Natalka from the Polish Consulate, as her mother very much wished to return to Poland. It was a very difficult time for her, as she felt alone after giving birth.
“A PISC volunteer Marcin kindly agreed to act as the family’s driver and accompanied them on their journey from Flintshire to Poland, for which I am very grateful. The family returned to Poland last week.
“Tragically, yesterday I received a phone call from the family with devastating news. Little Natalka and Krzysztof have passed away. The car in which the four-member family was travelling crashed into a tree. Justyna, a 29-year-old mother, and her 3-year-old son were taken to hospital, where they are now fighting for their lives. The impact was so severe that when the firefighters arrived, she was already outside of the vehicle.”
Ms Buckley further stated: “This is an unimaginable tragedy. The only thing we can now do for the grandfather is to help him lay his 2-month-old granddaughter to rest by supporting the funeral costs.”
