Camper van used in Garda ramming in Donegal ordered destroyed

A camper van that rammed a Garda patrol car in Donegal has been forfeited to the State for destruction.

The case was heard in Letterkenny District Court following a police property application. Garda Sergeant Jim Collins told the court the vehicle had been seized after it was involved in a dangerous‑driving incident in which it struck a Garda patrol car.

Sergeant Collins said the registered owner had been notified of the application but did not respond. He sought a court order for the vehicle’s destruction.

Judge Emile Daly granted the destruction order, allowing the State to dispose of the camper van.
