Family tells of grief in bid to curb joyriding

A MAN whose brother died driving a stolen car has spoken of his family’s heartbreak — as part of a new campaign to stop joyriding.

Trevor Ward and his sister Rachel, from Knocknaheeny, Cork, said they want their family’s tragic story to serve as a warning to young people about the dangers and consequences of joyriding.

Their 20-year-old brother, Ian, died instantly when the stolen car he was driving spun out of control and struck a pole on the Carrigrohane Road just before midnight on Monday, October 5, 1998.
