Survivors tell of how friends drowned in car tragedy

TWO young men gave a terrifying account of how their three friends drowned when for no obvious reason their car veered off the road and ended upside down in several feet of water.

The two men yesterday recalled at an inquest yesterday the moment the overturned car filled with water after the accident on the grounds of Dunboy Castle, outside Castletownbere in west Cork, earlier this year.

Cillian O’Sullivan and Greg Harrington were in the back seat of the Ford Fiesta, which landed on its roof in the water at about 1am on March 1.
