'I wake up and see his picture' - driver who ran red light and killed boy (8) says he's haunted by death of youngster who was crossing road with his dad

John Moynihan, aged 62, was sentenced to two years in prison for dangerous driving that led to the tragic death of eight-year-old Andre Ladeiro in Cork. The incident devastated Andre's Portuguese parents, who emotionally shared their experience of comforting him on the roadside before his untimely death at the hospital due to severe skull injuries. Moynihan, who pleaded guilty, expressed deep remorse, stating he continuously thinks about the boy and would do anything to help the grieving family.

I wake up at night and see the boy's photo on RIP. I wish I could roll back the clock.

Cesar wept as he told the court doctors at Temple Street admitted the skull injuries were the worst of their type they had seen in 20 years.
