A court hearing was initiated for a man who allegedly caused a car crash resulting in the death of a nine-year-old boy from County Tyrone. The accident happened on Saturday night.
Ronan Wilson, who lived in Kildress, passed away at the place where the accident happened on Atlantic Way in Bundoran, County Donegal.
Serge Kelly, who is 23 years old and lives in Upper Mullaghmore, Cliffony, County Sligo, went to court in Carrick-on-Shannon.
He is accused of three things, one of which is not stopping after a crash.
A detective from the Irish police, called a garda, said that Mr. Kelly was officially accused of a crime at the Ballyshannon Garda Station on Monday evening.
When accused of not helping after the crash, the detective said that Mr. Kelly answered: “I know I made a mistake and should have stopped, but I didn’t. ”
When he was accused of not keeping the vehicle close to the accident, he said, “I know I should have, but I didn’t. ”
In simpler words: Mr. Kelly was told in court that he was accused of not stopping at the scene. He admitted to not doing it, even though he knew he should have.
The person accused in the case was allowed to leave jail by paying €2,000 in cash to the court. They also had to give an additional €5,000 as a guarantee to the court.
Mr Kelly was told that he cannot talk to the witnesses for the prosecution, and he needs to give up his passport.
The court case was postponed until 20 October at Ballyshannon District Court.
Ronan’s funeral will be held at St Mary’s Church in Dunamore, County Tyrone on Thursday.
