Terrier caused Harley driver to crash

A MOTORCYCLIST lost control of his bike, crashed and died after a dog ran into his path, an inquest heard yesterday.

Kevin Sexton, 61, from Oak Hill, Youghal, Co Cork, suffered cardiac arrest in the ambulance after the accident on the Killeagh Road in Youghal on August 23, 2007 and was pronounced dead upon arrival at hospital.

Cork City Coroner’s Court was told that while Mr Sexton suffered serious injuries which may not have been fatal in a younger person, extensive heart disease contributed to his death.
