Teenage girl was thrown up to 10m through car’s front window in crash

A 14-year-old girl was thrown through the front window of a car and found dead around 5m-10m away in a field in Kerry.

Caitlin Taylor, of Gouldshill, Mallow, was a passenger in the Toyota Yaris car driven by Sarah O’Connell (now aged 24) of Sean Moylan Park, Mallow, Co Cork. Also in the car was the 18-month-old daughter of Ms O’Connell.

The child was found, unharmed and still strapped into her booster seat, at the back of the badly damaged car in the dark low-lying field sometime after 11pm.
