A 13-year-old boy is in critical condition after a head-on collision on the M50 near Firhouse. Gardaí investigate how the crash happened after reports that a stolen car was involved.
Across reports, eight teenagers are said to have been in the stolen vehicle at the time. The accounts describe the other driver as an innocent motorist, with one outlet quoting the mother of the driver of the other car speaking out. Gardaí are working to establish the circumstances of the collision and whether the incident is linked to a local group referred to as the “Lucky Dip” gang in one report.
While all outlets focus on the same crash, they differ in emphasis: one highlights the investigation into a possible gang link, while another foregrounds that the car is reported to have been driven the wrong way.
