A 21-year-old Irish student has been killed following a road collision in the US. The third-year UCD student was on an exchange trip in Austin, Texas. A GoFundMe page has been set up to help his family with expenses and has raised more than $24,370 (€21, 341). Mr Sands had travelled to the US to take part in the Iron Spikes organisation at the University of Texas. Iron Spikes is a philanthropic organisation for young men.
