Vehicle found on its roof | Nenagh Guardian

Gardai attended the scene of a single-vehicle traffic collision outside Nenagh and found a vehicle on its roof.

Nenagh District Court heard that the vehicle was found at Lissatunny shortly after 4am on October 17 last year. Damage was caused to the vehicle, a hedgerow and an ESB bulb.

Gardaí subsequently spoke to the owner, Eimile Dooley (42), of Ballygraigue Court, Nenagh, who produced insurance and a driving licence.

She said a badger had run out in front of her on the road. The damage to the hedge was covered by insurance.

Ms Dooley was summonsed for dangerous driving, though Judge Marie Keane agreed to reduce this to careless driving. The judge imposed a €200 fine.
