Mr Jeremy O’Brien, aged 18 years, was among five teenagers sadly killed when their BMW, travelling south on the northbound M9, collided head-on with a Hyundai near Moone, Co Kildare.
The crash also left three women and a seven-year-old boy from Carlow seriously injured. They had been travelling to Dublin Airport for a family wedding.
O’Brien, who was suspected of driving the BMW, had reportedly been considered a person of interest in a separate July 15th assault investigation in Thurles, Co. Tipperary.
Reports alleged the incident involved an ongoing dispute and an attack with a slash hook.
No arrest or charge involving O’Brien was reported, and the allegation was never tested or established in court. Garda investigations into the fatal collision and its surrounding circumstances remain ongoing.
