• Woman pleads guilty to careless driving causing death in Monaghan Careless driving causing death · Co. Monaghan

  Colleen McCann, 26, pleaded guilty to careless driving causing the death of 17-year-old Ciaran McKenna in a crash at Maghernakill, Castleblayney, Co Monaghan, in the early hours of 30 July 2012. The car left the road, launched into the air and hit a tree, and McKenna, a front-seat passenger and minor footballer with Crossmaglen Rangers, was trapped in the vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene. McCann was originally charged with dangerous driving causing death but admitted the lesser offence at Monaghan Circuit Court in October 2021. She had been deported from the United States in February 2017 to face the charges and was arrested under a 2014 bench warrant. Her sentencing is scheduled before Judge John Aylmer at Monaghan Circuit Court.
