A toddler was extremely lucky he was not strapped into his buggy when a car on the Circuit of Kerry rally went out of control, through a protective barrier and threw the buggy up against a wall, the High Court has heard.

Jamie O’Brien was watching the motor rally along with his parents and his sister at a church car park at Ballymacelligott when the accident happened 10 years ago. He ended up covered in blood with lacerations to his face and head.
