Driver who killed woman in fatal crash turns his life around to honour her memoryAt just 18 years of age, Gavin Meenan’s life changed in an instant when his dangerous driving claimed the life of a mother of one in a car crash in 2003. Mr Meenan, who is now 41, struggled for years with the devastating impact of his actions, and over the years he has found that helping others is the best way to “honour that wonderful woman’s memory”. The Donegal man wants to warn young drivers about the responsibility they hold when getting behind the wheel. “Young people, and young men in particular, can feel invincible. I want to remind people that your car is a weapon that can kill a person.
