New father’s life ‘changed forever’ after he was run over by surgeon

When a Midleton man was knocked down he suffered horrific head injuries. The driver denied it was his fault and his insurers refused to help with rehabilitation costs, but CCTV footage told a different story. David O’Driscoll is now trying to piece his life back together.

A Cork mother has described her family’s ‘dreadful’ year after her son suffered severe head injuries when he was hit by a car whose driver initially denied he was to blame for the accident.

The driver’s insurers had refused to pay out any funds towards David O’Driscoll’s rehabilitation from the brain injuries he suffered that night.
