Mother of teen killed in M9 crash apologises to victims
The mother of one of the teenagers who died in a head-on collision on the M9 motorway more than a week ago has apologised to the families who were injured in the incident.
Jack Kennedy's mother, Sarah, expressed her deepest condolences to the families of Joey, Alex, Jeremy, and Kamil at his funeral mass in St Michael's Church in Athy, Co Kildare. She emphasized that five young boys made a tragic decision and paid the ultimate price, losing their lives and leaving five families without their children.
Sarah apologized to the injured families, assuring them of her family's support and prayers for a full recovery. She thanked everyone for their kindness, empathy, and love during this difficult time. Canon Frank McEvoy, a parish team assistant, encouraged the congregation to reflect on their words and actions, urging young people to stop participating in dangerous driving.
He reminded everyone that they are better than the tragic events that occurred on the M9 motorway in the early hours of Sunday, 16 August. The collision resulted in the death of five teenagers and serious injuries to four others, who remain hospitalized and continue to recover.
