Family seek answers in case of pony and trap collision which killed 12-year-old-boy

The family of a 12 year old boy who died following collision involving a pony and trap say they want to know what caused the incident.

Relatives of Sean David Doyle of Melrose Avenue in Clondalkin, Dublin 22 said they have written to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) seeking answers. The young boy, who was due to make his confirmation less than two months later, sustained a traumatic brain injury when the pony and trap he was travelling on collided with a truck on February 26 last.

Investigating Gardai completed a file for the DPP in relation to the case but no prosecution was directed. The family say the truck driver was not to blame but they feel ‘something’ caused the sulky car to swerve out into traffic.
