Man injured in car chase sues drivers and insurance body

A 30-year-old man who was seriously injured in a crash after a high speed car chase — in which two teenagers were killed — has brought a case for compensation before the High Court.

John Heaphy, 30, with an address at Crestfield Downs, Glanmire, Cork, and previously of Blarney Street, Cork, brought the case against the two drivers and the Motor Insurance Bureau of Ireland.

The drivers of two cars were convicted in 2010 for dangerous driving causing the death of two teenagers.
