Mother Unconscious Since 2017 Altercation With Husband Dies

A woman who has been unconsciousness since she fell from her husband’s moving truck onto Lincoln Highway in Falls Township in summer 2017 died over the weekend.

Robin Ryan, 33, passed away on Saturday after a long stay at a medical facility.

An autopsy was performed Sunday and investigators were awaiting results.

Robin Ryan’s husband Andrew Lawrence Ryan, 33, of Warminster, has been serving a seven to 20 year state prison sentence since last September related to her injuries. He pleaded no contest last July to charges of aggravated assault, leaving the scene of an accident involving death or injury, recklessly endangering another person, DUI, and reckless driving.

At the time of Andrew Ryan’s sentencing last year, Deputy District Attorney Robert James said to LevittownNow.com that Andrew Ryan could face more charges, including homicide, if his wife died.

James O’Malley, the spokesman for the district attorney’s office, said Monday afternoon that any further charges are pending the autopsy results.

Prosecutors said in court papers and in court last year that the Ryans were “bickering” on the evening of July 24, 2017 after grabbing a few drinks as they drove in her husband’s silver Ford pickup truck along Lincoln Highway near Oxford Valley Road. Robin Ryan ended up flying out of the pickup truck with a trailer attached. The mother of a young child hit the pavement and ended up being struck being by the truck’s landscaping trailer.

Robin Ryan, who married Andrew Ryan in 2015, was badly hurt and was helped by passersby as her husband drove away.

Andrew Ryan was stopped by a Pennsylvania State Police trooper on Trenton Road near Elmwood Road a short time after the incident.

In speaking with detectives, Andrew Ryan had said he was intoxicated at the time and downed four beers and two shots of tequila.

Following the crash, Robin Ryan was sustained by medical assistance through feeding and tracheostomy tubes.
