THE INVESTIGATION INTO the deaths of three men in a car crash on the N7 is continuing this morning as gardaí attempt to establish the victims’ final moments.
Gardaí are appealing to any witnesses who may have seen a dark blue BMW 3 Series vehicle (06-D-47768) in the areas of Belgard, Citywest or the N7 between 11.15pm–12.00am to come forward.
The three victims, who were close friends, were named locally today.
They are Carl Freeman, 27, Dean Maguire, 29, and Graham Taylor, 31.
The crash happened when a car travelling on the wrong side of the road collided with a truck at around 11.40 pm on Wednesday.
Gardaí had been involved in a pursuit with the vehicle. However, that pursuit ended once the car entered the M7 headed in the wrong direction, sources told The Journal.
The pursuit started after the car tried to avoid garda detection.
Freeman, Maguire and Taylor were all known to gardaí and had all served prison sentences. Gardaí believe the three men were part of a burglary gang operating in the area.
As of the car involved in this collision had come to the attention of gardaí prior to the incident, An Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission (GSOC) has been notified.

And all our moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain…………
@Pounamustone: time to die. Wonder if that is what is in store for humans when they realise what power they have.?
@Brendan Cooney: careful Brendan, they are on the Web, …. first against the wall and all that.
@Pounamustone:
One of the best lines in any film ever!!
The sequel has a lot to live up to.
Back to the story….
I would query the word ‘joke’ in the article.
It is far more likely that they were not joking.
Now….. where are the blade runner application forms ;)
I was going to have porridge, but I’ve no honey…
Link to debate on humanity by robots Han and Sophia. The male seems to be modelled after Norwegian mass killer Anders Breivik:
@bopter: To me it looks like they are just following a script, not a whole lot of AI going on there. I think we are safe for now.
And so it begins….
@Tasha Spencer: Skynet becomes self aware
As long as it’s only humans in Hong Kong, we’re okay.
whos to say that its not an act where two people were actually speaking for those robots. the next jesus will be a robot in 20 years.
@Sam Lean: hope they dont work out how to root or jailbreak themselves lol
I for one welcome our new robot overlords
We are still a good 35 years from human level cross disapline intelligence. But my god we better get it right, no second chances on a super intelligence with malicious motives.
Those humans have a screw loose…
Have to admit to being hugely unimpressed. You would think that at this stage, a robot linked to the internet should be able to carry on a normal conversation. Or is the problem that is full of shit which is causing a problem for our robots?
They’ll be back..
Ah sure we have that here…
Kill all humans
@Mark Noonan: except Fry
And they agree that the cause of all the trouble in the world is humans who act like a cancer on the world and on other life forms. So to save the world then kill al humans?
have your say
