Women involved in fatal joyriding chase may be given community service

Two young mothers who voluntarily got into a stolen car which was later involved in a high-speed garda chase resulting in the death of a 16-year-old passenger may be given community service orders.

The car clipped another vehicle on the inside lane of the M50 motorway, lost control and crossed two lanes of traffic before it became airborne and crashed into a lamppost, fatally injuring back-seat passenger Darragh Carroll (aged 16), of Ballyogan Vale, Carrickmines.
