Irish Emigrant 20 - 10 - 97 Issue 559

Four people died in a head-on crash between two cars four miles north of Arklow on Wednesday night. Former Senator Michael Enright was cut from the wreckage of his car but he died shortly after. The other car overturned on impact, bursting into flames, and all three occupants died instantly. They were Peter Martin (24) from Arklow, John Redmond (17) from Rathnew and his cousin Joseph Redmond (15) from Tinahely. A caller to the Gardai at 10.40pm reported a car travelling at excessive speeds in the area, though the Gardai could not confirm that the speeding car was the one involved in the collision.
