Girl sues parents for crash that killed sister

A schoolgirl seriously injured in a car accident in which her sister and a friend died has launched an action for damages in the High Court against her parents.

Faith Varden-Carberry was seven years of age when her mother — who had been banned from driving and was uninsured — ploughed into an embankment on a disused road outside Edgeworthstown, Co Longford.

Faith’s sister Ava, 6, and her friend Michaela Logan were killed and another child was injured in the Nov 2007 accident.
