12-year-old joyriders in car crash after chase

A SENIOR garda said it was a miracle that nobody was seriously injured or killed when three 12-year-old boys in a Mazda were chased at high speed by patrol cars before crashing into another vehicle.

The boys were spotted by gardaí at 3am yesterday driving just yards from the Garda Southern Region headquarters in Anglesea Street, Cork. A patrol car gave chase.

The Mazda, which wasn’t reported stolen, sped onto George’s Quay and Sullivan’s Quay before travelling the wrong way up South Main Street.
