FacebookA car crash on Friday in Limerick, Ireland, has killed two teenagers.
Delia Keary, 18, was riding in the front passenger seat in a car with her boyfriend Gary Kelly, 19, when their vehicle collided with a truck on the N21 Limerick Tralee Road, a short distance from Abbeyfeale.
Keary was rushed to University Hospital Limerick, where she later died from her injuries. Kelly, who was driving the jeep, was killed instantly on impact.
FacebookFriends of the young couple paid tribute to the ‘teenage sweethearts’ online, who died on Mother’s Day weekend.
One friend of Gary’s wrote:
Rest in peace Gary Kelly my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time, god took you too soon you still had your whole life to live but he gained a beautiful soul who was always smiling.
FacebookDelia and Gary have since been described as a ‘wonderful’ couple.
