The car in which a 16-year-old girl was killed in a dangerous driving escapade by another teenager in Cork looked like someone had placed a bomb under it, the sentencing judge said.

Garda Brian Holland said the driver ran from the scene where the girl died and another boy in the car sustained serious injuries. It took more than two months of investigation before he was arrested and charged.
