Her two year-old son was also taken to Drogheda hospital while the eldest - a six-year-old - was rushed to Crumlin, where he is said to be in a critical condition, according to the Irish Independent.
The driver of the truck was unharmed.
"Three occupants (two, six and 26-years-old) of the car were brought to Drogheda and Crumlin Hospitals (one male juvenile and the female driver in Drogheda; one male juvenile in Crumlin)," a statement from the Gardaí said.
"There was no one else in the car."
