Plea for better driver behaviour as four die in weekend road crashes

THE deaths of two young men in weekend crashes in Co Kerry brings to 18 the number of people killed in traffic accidents in the county so far this year — the highest number since records began, according to gardaí.

They were among four people, all of them young men, who died at the weekend following accidents in Kerry, Tipperary and Kilkenny.

Andrew Tattershall, 22, of Iveragh Park, Killorglin, was pronounced dead at the scene of a head-on crash at Kilderry, on the Milltown/Killorglin road, at 9.10pm on Saturday night.
