Pandemonium, shock and sorrow as five school girls die in horror crash
As the tiny communities of Beauparc and Kentstown try to cope with the shocking events which unfolded yesterday afternoon, a major investigation has started into what caused the crash, which claimed five lives and left dozens injured. The students who died were aged between 13 and 16.
Twenty-six people, including the drivers of two cars who were also caught up in the carnage, were being treated in a Drogheda hospital last night six of them in a serious condition.
