Truck driver ‘should attend court in Britain’

AN English father has pleaded with an Irishman facing extradition over a fatal road traffic accident to travel voluntarily to Britain to attend a related court hearing.

Alan Digby-Cameron of Sandy, Bedfordshire yesterday issued an emotional plea to Tipperary lorry driver, Denis Ryan, to travel to England to give evidence about the accident.

His son Andrew, aged 27, died after being struck by Mr Ryan’s 40-tonne lorry while attempting to cross the M1 motorway on foot after a night out drinking in July last year.
