Teen ‘did wheelies’ before fatal crash

A teenager who was killed on Christmas Day when he crashed an off-road motorbike was seen doing wheelies seconds before, an inquest has heard.

Leroy Coyle, 19, from O’Sullivan Avenue in Ballybough, Dublin 3, was fatally injured when he lost control of the bike, a powerful off-road scrambler, crashing into a stationary car on December 25, 2013.

Dublin Coroner’s Court heard he was not wearing a helmet at the time.
