Boy, 14, killed while steering car which was under tow
A 14 YEAR OLD boy died in a three vehicle accident, near Abbeydorney, Co. Kerry, yesterday. The boy was steering a car, which was being towed by another vehicle at the time, and his car collided with a furniture van which was coming in the opposite direction. Another car then crashed into the back of the van. Three people, who were injured, were removed to Tralee General Hospital, but their injuries were not serious and two were later discharged. The accident occurred around mid day at Dromcunnig, about half a mile on the Tralee side of Abbeydorney. The road was blocked for over an hour and gardaí diverted traffic in other directions. It is understood that the deceased was from the Abbeydorney area and gardaí last night declined to release his identity until all relatives had been informed of his tragic death.
