Youth may face Circuit Court for crash with Cowen escort car

A schoolboy could face trial before a Circuit Court judge and jury over an incident in which a Garda Special Branch car escorting Taoiseach Brian Cowen was struck by stolen vehicle.

Two detectives, who were not injured in the collision in Dublin, were following the Taoiseach's official car as Mr Cowen was being driven home from a late Cabinet meeting on the night of November 18 last.
