Poor parking during visit led to crash death of driver’s friend, court told

A fatal crash was caused by the manner in which an elderly woman parked when visiting the family of the man who was subsequently killed, Limerick Circuit Court has heard.

Mary Meade, aged 70, of Lissard, Galbally, yesterday pleaded not guilty to parking a car in a dangerous manner and creating substantial risk of injury.

The alleged offence occurred at Ballyfuta, Ballylanders, when Ms Meade stopped to visit the Corbett family on Nov 26, 2010.
