Inquest heard truck driver was travelling at 75km/h in a 50km/h zone when accident happened

A schoolboy who died after he was hit by a truck was taking a shortcut across a “convoluted” junction when he was struck.

Photograph: Gareth Chaney/Collins “He had just turned 11 on October 13th, we’d been out celebrating,” Mrs Caputo said in her deposition. “He was crossing and he reached the island, then proceeded out onto the road without looking,” Mr Cosgrave said.“I saw a young lad, his head was turned as if he was talking to someone behind him,” Mr O’Donnell said. He beeped the horn but Elrich stepped out and was struck.
