Gardaí Appeal For Witnesses Over Teen Crash

Gardaí in Kells have launched an appeal for witnesses to the single vehicle road crash, which left a teenager dead in Co Meath on Monday.

Dean Walshe Fennor, 17, from Oldcastle Co Meath died after the car he was driving was believed to have gone out of control, colliding with a wall.

The collision occured on Monday at approximately 11.30pm in Loughcrew town at Oldcastle, Co. Meath on the stretch of road just off the R154. The road is single carriageway throughout and many parts of the route are known locally for their dangerous bends.

The teenager died as a result of his injuries in Navan General Hospital yesterday.
