It is understood that the car lost control and went through a neighbour"s garden before crashing into the home of Jackie Donnelly who was shocked to see the scale of the damage when she returned home. The family moved out of their house while the work was being repaired. Gardai said that two occupants of the car were aged 17 and 20 and that their investigations are continuing.
