Knocknaheeny mourns loss of teenagers in car crash

THE loss of one young life is tragic, but the loss of two in a tight-knit community on the northside of Cork city has been described as almost unbearable.

People huddled in stunned disbelief at the city’s Harbour View Road in Hollyhill yesterday morning as they viewed the wreckage of the two cars that had slid down an embankment, one of them crashing into a wall.

It resulted in the deaths of Cornelius James ‘CJ’ Dolan, aged 16, and Derry O’Callaghan, aged 19.
