A bus driver has been found guilty of dangerous driving causing the deaths of two teenagers in Waterford.

The collision, which occurred on the Cork Road in Waterford city on June 27th 2024, resulted in the deaths of Gilbert Collins (15) and Avuzwa Sampo (17).

Adrian Doyle (43), of Ard Glas, Abbey Road in Ferrybank, Waterford, was last year charged in connection with the incident. He had pleaded not guilty to dangerous driving causing the deaths of the two teenagers.

At Waterford Circuit Criminal Court today, a jury returned a unanimous guilty verdict on the charge of dangerous driving causing death after deliberating for a total of three hours and 29 minutes.

Judge Eugene O’Kelly remanded Mr Doyle on continuing bail until January 13th next to fix a date for sentencing.
