Irish Examiner 4-5-99

ONE Cork teenager was killed and another was in critical condition last night after a horrific crash involving six friends returning from a day at the seaside. The dead man was Paul Barry, Roselawn, Douglas who was one of five boys and one girl travelling in the Toyota car which sped out of control and smashed through a wall at Lehenaghmore, Togher at around 6.30pm. The five surviving occupants of the car were taken to Cork University Hospital where one was said to be in a critical condition.

The teenagers were thought to have spent the day at Crosshaven and were returning home when the accident occurred. The car came over the brow of a steep hill at Lehanamore, left a 100 feet skid mark veering onto the opposite side of the road and crashed broadside through a heavy wall at the entrance to a private house.
