Gardaí looking for witnesses to fatal three-car collision

A teenager died in the incident.

GARDAÍ ARE LOOKING for witnesses to last week’s fatal collision in Enniscorthy.

At approximately 12 noon on 22 May, a collision involving three vehicles occurred 200m north of Blackstoops roundabout, Enniscorthy.

The front seat passenger in one of the cars, a 19-year-old woman, was taken to Wexford General Hospital where she was later pronounced dead.

The driver of that car suffered serious injuries and remains in hospital. The driver of the second vehicle, a green 4×4 was also taken to hospital with minor injuries. One of the passengers in the third vehicle, a silver van, received minor injuries.

The scene was examined by a local forensic collision investigators and investigations are ongoing.

Investigating gardaí are now renewing their appeal for witnesses to contact them. They are particularly appealing to any motorist in the area at the time of the collision who may have dashcam footage to make it available to them.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Enniscorthy Garda Station on 053-9242580 or the Garda Confidential Line 1800 666 111.

    Parents must take responsibility for their own kids health until they’re old enough to understand the consequences of poor nutrition.
    Would any parent knowingly give their kids diabetes ? Probably No, and yet they do in their 1000′s, due primarily to laziness and habit. The irony is that the good unprocessed food is on average cheaper, and yet some blame low household income for being obese.
    Like most problems in life responsibility for the solution must start at home.

    That’s the thing though – the processed junk isn’t cheaper – it’s just easier.

    Anyone who makes their own meals from scratch knows that this ultimately works out cheaper than buying processed junk. But the rub is knowing what to cook and how to cook it.

    While some people will watch cookery programmes, with the exception of the likes of Jamie Oliver very few focus on stuff that is easy to make. And there are some people out there who look at cooking a healthy meal from scratch vs throwing a pizza in the oven and some chips in the deep fat fryer and they really don’t see any reason to put in the effort.

    There’s no excuse these days, there’s apps and websites and cookery programmes everywhere you look – it’s about the desire to actually do it. That’s what we need to figure out how to change.

    Exactly – if you know what you’re doing it’s really not hard, and it tastes better.. It’s just getting people motivated to move away from ready made and back to home made.

    Actually fresh organic food is much more expensive than processed or “fast” foods, Wherever your finding that information it’s illegitimate.

    Robert – I am as shocked and appalled as you, but, can you just wait for the trial to finish so you can comment otherwise, you’ll just about everyone to the point that they’ll dismiss you when the correct time comes.

    In the interim, there are plenty of discussion boards you can go to to vent your frustration.

    Yes I know but I just don’t like censorship , if it was some poor guy lock up for not paying his tv license we could all make a comment because the journal know that the guy could not sue them one law for the big boy and the rest of us can f**k of.

    I think its more to do with the fact that the trial is still ongoing. If someone is convicted then there is no issue with commenting.

    The problem is that there is a fear that the defence of the others could try to argue that it is not possible for them to get a fair trial due to media coverage, contents etc.

    I agree there is a serious chill effect on the irish media arising from our defamation laws but, that won’t change in time for comment on the bollix in question.

    He always had the best chance to get off, based on whistleblower evidence. However he will be back in court this year, which thejournal.ie could easily post on.

    Ever think to stop feeding them that sh1t and when they’re hungry they’ll soon eat all the fruit and veg you want. Might have a few tantrums but the right thing is rarely easy.

    I see what you did there Jacintha – you got me. The profile is good, if a tad un-inventive. The picture is hilarious and, even funnier is the thoughts of her actually saying ‘fruit NOR veggies’ …

    Good stuff!

    If it’s done properly no, but some of these guys are off the wall with the way they bulk and cut. They cut in a way which causes malnutrition and uses massive amounts of caffeine( eh where’s your vegetables) then when they are finished cutting and have no idea as to the damage they are doing to their bodies they go and do a dirty bulk and start wolfing pizza. A lot of them are worried about their hearts and rightly so but it’s just doesn’t seem to be taken seriously.
