Man who died in two-fatality crash was living in Newbridge

A man who crashed a car killing him and a mother-of-three had been living in Newbridge, it has emerged.

Dean Coleman (25) died after his 1995-registered Fiat vehicle struck a pole in Templeogue, Dublin at 1am on Tuesday morning.

Mother-of-three Annemarie Hooper, who was aged in her 30s, was a passenger in the car and also died.

The crash victims were pronounced dead at the scene.

Coleman was originally from Drimnagh but had been residing in recent years in the Great Connell area of Newbridge.

He had been serving an eight-year driving ban imposed in 2013.

He was previously jailed over a high-speed chase with gardaí around Dublin city while his infant child was in the car.

The Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission (Gsoc) was notified as Garda officers had earlier interacted with the vehicle.
