Gardaí are trying to piece together the precise movements of a car before it crashed in County Limerick, killing a boy.
12 year-old Wicktor Chojecki lost his life when the car he was driving hit a truck head on, on the N21 near Adare.
He was a 1st year student in Scoil Mhuire agus Íde and its Principal Seán Lane says the school is deeply saddened.
Local Fianna Fail Councillor Francis Foley says locals are very upset about what happened:
"There has been an awful sense of shock and sadness in the whole Newcastlewest area at this terrible news - this terrible loss. And it's terrible to see such a young person lose their life in such circumstances. Out thoughts and prayers are with the family."
