  • Jury deliberating in Waterford dangerous driving death trial Fatal road traffic collision · Co. Waterford

    In the early hours of 27 June 2024, a bus struck two teenagers travelling on an e-scooter on the Cork Road in Waterford city, killing 15-year-old man Gilbert Collins at the scene and 17-year-old man Avuzwa Idris the following day in hospital. Adrian Doyle, a 43-year-old man driving a JJ Kavanagh & Sons coach, was charged with dangerous driving causing the deaths of the two teenagers. He pleaded not guilty, the DPP directed trial on indictment, and the case was adjourned at Waterford Circuit Court in April 2026 before the trial opened in November 2026. The jury at Waterford Circuit Criminal Court has retired to consider its verdict.
