Verdicts of accidental death have been recorded at an inquest into the deaths of four young adults in a crash in Clonmel last year.
They died due to severe cranio-cerebral trauma from being involved in a road traffic collision on the evening of August 25th at Hillview, Clonmel.
Grace McSweeney, Nicole Murphy and Zoey Coffey, all aged 18, died in the collision, as did Grace's 24-year-old brother Luke who was driving the car.
They on their way to meet friends with the intention of travelling to a Leaving Cert results celebration in Carlow that night.
Witnesses to the car being driven before the crash said they did not notice any excessive speed.
However, the two back tyres of the car had tread depths below the legal limit of 1.6mm.
In summing up, Coroner Joseph Kelly, said that the road was "very much like a flowing river" at the time of the collision, because of the "torrents" which had fallen on a "steep hill".
The incident resulted in a huge outpouring of grief in Clonmel and the surrounding areas in its aftermath.
