Lorry driver arrested after fatal road crash

A SCOTTISH truck driver in his 40s was arrested yesterday after a fatal road traffic accident.

Gardaí were last night preparing a file for the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) after releasing him without charge following a day of questioning.

He was arrested and detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act just hours after a man in his mid-30s was killed in the early morning accident on the N20 Cork to Limerick road.
