A 19-year-old youth has been charged in connection with the two-car crash in County Antrim in which three people died including the parents of two young children. He will be brought before Coleraine Magistrates tomorrow charged with allowing himself to be carried in a stolen vehicle and driving without insurance. He will also face charges of assault, driving while disqualified and possession of an offensive weapon. The two-year-old boy whose parents were killed in the crash remains in a critical condition.
The RUC said that they tried to stop the stolen vehicle near the village of Ballybogey outside Ballymoney, but the driver did a U-turn, hit three other vehicles and then crashed into an oncoming car. It is believed that the stolen car had been travelling at around 100 miles an hour. The parents of the child have been named as Charmaine Watson, and her husband Justin Watson, of Woodvale Road in Belfast. The passenger who died in the stolen car has been named as Brian Justin Donnelly, from Falcarragh Drive, Belfast.
