Wicklow car crash victim with life-changing injuries makes appeal for help

A Ukrainian man living in Wicklow who was involved in a life-changing accident just after Christmas last year, has made an appeal for help to raise funds to pay for private care, which he hopes will help him gain more independence.
In January 2024, Mykola Polishchuk was the back seat passenger in a car being driven by his wife, Olena, on the outskirts of Tinahely. Next to him, in a booster seat, was his youngest child. Through an interpreter, Mykola described the accident, a skid on an icy patch of road at low speed, with little damage sustained to the car after it had left the road and come to a sudden halt.
