Young lads, late night, and a Starlet Turbo no doubt… say no more…
While I hope everyone recovers; this type of report: young lads, late night pretty much implies someone wasn’t wearing a seatbelt, and speed most certainly was a factor.
It’s not a bad road. I live in Clane. It’s a main road with minor x roads. Speed was involved.
Have to agree, I live out that way and often see fresh trye marks in the morning from the night before around the Kilcock, Clane and Maynooth area. Looks like people do be using the roads as a rally track in the early hours.
Bad road that although upgraded in the past couple of years, its like the Clane Celbridge road, quite straight but loads of cross roads
Isn’t it possible it was a non human error crash
They do !
have your say
