Nathan Fullerton and Nathan Farrell were killed in the crash in 2017
A man extradited from Northern Ireland to Donegal this week has been charged with causing the deaths of two teenagers in a crash in 2017.
Ricky Fagan was brought before Carndonagh District Court on Tuesday and remanded in custody.
The 31-year-old was charged with dangerous driving causing the deaths of Nathan Fullerton (17) and Nathan Farrell (18) at Quigley’s Point on April 29, 2017.
Fagan was further charged with the possession of cocaine and with possessing cocaine with the intent to sell or supply it to others. Those charges relate to an incident at Mulberry Avenue, Buncrana, on July 10, 2020.
Fagan was represented by solicitor Mr Donough Cleary. No application for bail was made on the accused’s behalf.
Fagan did not speak during the brief hearing, which took place at Buncrana courthouse.
He was remanded in custody to appear before Letterkenny District Court.
Fagan was arrested in Northern Ireland on September 15, 2022 and was extradited to the Republic of Ireland on Tuesday.
Fagan was the driver of a car in which Mr Fullerton and Mr Farrell were travelling in, along with two other friends, on April 29, 2017. The car hit a wall before crashing into a tree on the Quigley’s Point to Moville road at around 3.35am.
The friends were returning home from a night out at a disco at the time.
