An inquest on Wednesday into the death of a 12-year old-boy who was driving a car that veered straight into the path of an articulated truck, has found his death was a “tragic accident”.

The boy, Wiktor Chojecki, a native of Poland, who was living in Newcastle West, Co Limerick, died in the impact, which occurred just outside the village of Adare on February 11, 2022.
