Helmet safety call after teen’s death

EVEN when driving in fields, people on motorbikes should ensure they always wear helmets, a coroner said yesterday.

Dr Tony Casey made his remarks at an inquest in Limerick which was told that a teenage woman died after a fall from a dirt motorbike driven by a friend on a Co Limerick farm.

The jury returned a verdict of accidental death on Lisa Roche, 18, from Tallyho, Rathkeale.
