Youth stuck in boot as car sped through city

A young man was stuck in the boot of a car driven at high speed through the northside of Cork City before it crashed, it emerged at Cork District Court.

Driver of the uninsured 16-year-old Saab, Alan Moore, aged 19, of 76 Killala Gardens, Knocknaheeny, Cork, yesterday pleaded guilty to several dangerous driving charges.

Inspector Mary King said gardaí from Gurranabraher Garda Station first observed the car being driven at high speeds at Churchfield Way Lower and the blue lights and siren were activated in a patrol car which pursued the Saab. It failed to stop and it was seen continuing at high speed and driving directly over a roundabout and then over speed bumps.
