Family call for road victims to be remembered

THE family of a man who was killed by another young motorist’s dangerous driving appealed yesterday for victims to be remembered and for drivers to take responsibility when they get behind the wheel.

At Cork Circuit Criminal Court yesterday the family of the late Colin Hedderman, 23, said they did not want to see Gearoid Dineen, aged 21, of Carrignaphooka, Macroom, Co Cork, jailed for dangerous driving causing the death of their beloved son.

Instead they wanted their son remembered and appealed to drivers to slow down and to leave enough time for their journeys so that innocent people like Colin would not die.
