Wrong Way on Motorway Kills 5 | Dublin News

Five teenage boys died in a horrific head-on collision on the M9 motorway, after their car was driven the wrong way — a repeat of a deadly incident just days prior. The other vehicle, carrying three women and a seven-year-old boy, is now critically injured. Justice Minister Jim O’Callaghan condemned the act as “reckless criminal behavior,” announcing new pursuit training for gardaí and exploring a dedicated offense for wrong-way driving on motorways. The Garda Commissioner confirmed the training will begin this year, following pressure from the Garda Representative Association. This tragedy underscores the urgent need for stronger prevention and enforcement to protect public safety. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
