Man jailed for driving rampage

A judge has jailed a man for a “bizarre, criminal, appalling and dangerous” driving rampage through the streets of Ennis.

On the occasion, Eddie Casey crashed into six cars including one being driven by a woman who was eight-and-a-half months pregnant.

The 53-year-old Limerick man was banned from driving for 20 years in 2005 but in Ennis last June, Casey evaded capture from gardaí in a car chase across Ennis’s streets before crashing his blue Nissan Primera into two cars when driving up the wrong way down the one-way O’Connell St in Ennis town centre.
