THREE juveniles have been arrested following a high-speed chase through County Laois, a Garda spokesperson has confirmed.
On Bank Holiday Monday evening, a stolen car was driven at speed from Dublin to Junction 15 on the M7, between Portlaoise and Monasterevin.
The chase lasted a considerable amount of time and the car was driven down the wrong side of the motorway and collided with another vehicle on the road.
The driver of the other vehicle was taken to the hospital for assessment.
The car came to a stop on the M7 in the Kildare area. Three males, aged in their teens, were arrested and taken to a Garda Station in South Dublin.
One of these males, a 14-year-old, has been charged.
