Family holiday ended in fatal crash

An eight-year-old girl died in a horrific road accident while on holiday in West Cork last year.

Zoe Scannell, from Abbeyfeale, Co Limerick, “died almost instantly” from her injuries, an inquest heard.

The accident took place at a notoriously dangerous stretch of the N71 at Burgatia, on the east side of Rosscarbery on June 26, 2014.
