An inquest held Wednesday, into the death of a twelve year old boy who was driving a car that veered straight into the path of an articulated truck, has found his death was a “tragic accident”.
The boy, Wiktor Chojecki, a native of Poland, who was living in Newcastle West, Co Limerick, died in the impact, which occurred just outside the village of Adare on February 11, 2022.
The inquest, held at Limerick Coroner’s Court, Kilmallock, heard that, unbeknownst to his mother, the boy took her Nissan Qashqai from their home on the night in question as the rest of his family were asleep.
