• Man sentenced for dangerous driving causing serious bodily harm in Ballymahon Dangerous driving causing serious bodily harm · Co. Longford

  A two-car head-on collision on the outskirts of Ballymahon, Co Longford, in the early hours of Easter Sunday, April 9, 2023, left three young women, Emer Gavigan (22), Ciara Fox and Orla Keane, in hospital with life-changing injuries. Jaison Kurian, a 46-year-old man from Ballyleague, Co Roscommon, was initially charged with drink driving and no insurance at Longford District Court in April 2023, and was later arraigned on two counts of dangerous driving causing serious bodily harm at Longford Circuit Court in July 2024, where he pleaded guilty. The court heard he failed to maintain lane discipline, was travelling at 70 to 73kph in a 60kph zone, and had 48mg of alcohol per 100ml of breath, twice the legal limit. In November 2024, Kurian was sentenced to two and a half years in prison, with a headline sentence of five years and three months and 15 months suspended on an 18-month probation bond, and received a six-year driving ban.
