Savannah Calvert: A Tragic Night in Limerick | Limerick News

A tragic collision three years ago claimed the life of 14-year-old Savannah Calvert after she was struck while crossing Bank Place in Limerick. The driver, a novice learner with only months of experience, claimed he braked after seeing two teens run into the road — only to realize too late Savannah was still in the path. Witnesses said she had stopped mid-road, turned back, and was hit. Despite his efforts to avoid her, the impact was fatal. The car, a red Kia Ceed, showed no mechanical faults, and the driver had prior penalty notices for driving unaccompanied. He later offered an apology letter, but Savannah’s family declined to accept it. The inquest continues to explore the circumstances surrounding this devastating loss.
