A young driver has been jailed for nine years for killing three people in a high-speed crash in Co Louth last February.
Keith Lennon, of Dromintree, Co Armagh, was driving at 225 kilometres per hour when he crashed into Kevin Faxton’s car, killing him and his mother, Mary, instantly.
Bryan Magill, a back seat passenger in the 3-litre Audi A4 being driven at speed by 21-year-old Lennon, also died.
Just moments before the crash, the court heard Lennon recorded and then shared videos of his speed dial to friends on Snapchat.
