A distraught young Mum feared her teenage son was going to die on the back seat of her car after they became stuck in rush hour Christmas traffic when she was taking him to hospital after he became seriously ill.
And she has claimed that if HSE plans to close the A&E in Our Lady's hospital in Navan had gone ahead she would have faced an even worse situation.
Eimear Cullen's son Aaron had an allergic reaction to a bag of mixed nuts he took after he had been out exercising in the county Meath town last Friday evening and his granny brought him to his mothers place of work before the trio set off for what should have been a ten minute drive to the local hospital.
