Mother tried to wave down car before it struck son

A mother has told how she desperately waved her hands in a bid to stop a car hitting her young son seconds before he was killed.

Callum Dale, aged 13 and who had Asperger’s Syndrome, had left his home and died after he was hit by the vehicle driven by Rachel Fullerton on the outskirts of Buncrana, Co Donegal, in March 13, 2014.

Ms Fullerton, aged 35, has gone on trial at Letterkenny Circuit Court charged with careless driving causing the death of the boy.
