Couple under constant stress from speeding cars on their narrow road
A couple whose house on a narrow street in Youghal was extensively damaged two years ago by a crashed car have narrowly escaped a repeat incident. The accident on Ashe St was just the latest in a long series of near misses that have left locals repeatedly calling on the local authority to act.
Mary and Jerry Keohane were preparing for bed at about 12.30am when an Opel Astra scraped their premises before swerving into a boundary wall opposite the house. The impact activated both airbags in the vehicle, whose sole occupant was a man believed to be in his early 30s.
