Drunk driver jailed for injuring 2 friends

A man who downed six pints before getting behind the wheel and almost killing his two friends during a horrific head-on collision has been jailed for three years.

Seamus O’Donnell, now aged 27, did not have insurance or a valid NCT for his 14-year-old car which he had bought for just €350.

On October 5, 2014, he drank at least six pints of beer over a three-hour period before getting a takeaway of more beer and driving away with brothers Liam and Sean Ryan.
