13 year old Lauren O'Brien lost her life at a motorsport event.


Gardaí say they still want to hear from anyone who has video of a motorsport event in which a young girl died in West Cork over the weekend. 

13-year-old Lauren O'Brien was killed when her car crashed during a juvenile heat, at a racetrack in Enniskeane on Sunday. 

Gardaí in Bandon are appealing for any witnesses to come forward.

They want to speak to anyone who was videoing the qualifying lap, or anyone with dashcams which may have captured the competitors taking part.

Lauren O'Brien was a pupil of McEgan College in Macroom and warm tributes have been paid to her since the tragic accident.
