Man who ran down mother and two infants turns himself in
The man who crashed into a mother pushing a double buggy with two children in it has turned himself in to Gardai.
But not before the full details of the damage he caused entered the public domain. The car he was driving at high speed went onto a grass verge near the village of Kilfinane, and hit the buggy throwing the two infants out of it. One of the children, a ten-month old baby girl, suffered a broken leg, while the other child and the mother suffered shock.

On hitting the buggy, the driver initially stopped and then continued driving in the direction of Kilfinane.
It took an appeal from Gardai both on local radio and a front page story on the Limerick Leader detailing what evidence was being gathered by Gardai before the man finally turned himself in.
