Five Dead After Car Drives On Wrong Side Of Motorway
About this episode
Five teenagers were killed and four other people were seriously injured after a BMW was driven down the wrong side of the M9 in Co Kildare. This is the second crash within a week, where a car was purposely driven in to oncoming traffic. There is also a fear that reckless driving is being videoed and posted online for likes. Gardaí are also calling for more training on active pursuit of vehicles.
To discuss the fatal crash and what to do about reckless driver behaviour, Matt is joined by Stephen Breen Crime Editor with the Irish Sun, Tara McManus, Assistant General Secretary, Garda Representative Association and Trina O’Connor who is a criminologist.
