Inquest hears bus ticket machine creates blind spot
The design of the roads around Cork’s main bus station at Parnell Place also played a role in the death of Monica Bennett last year, Cork City Coroner’s Court heard yesterday.
Two Garda experts told city coroner Dr Myra Cullinane that the positioning of the ticket dispensing machine on the dashboard of the coach created a significant blind spot and impaired the driver’s vision of the exact area of the vehicle which struck the victim.
