Woman sues over hen party kart crash

A party of 15 English girls decided to really sample life in the fast lane during a bride’s hen party trip to Dublin three years ago, a judge was told yesterday.

But it proved a pain in the neck for 29-year-old Karen Wimpory after having been rear-ended in a traffic jam just off the Naas road outside Dublin.

Barrister Fiona Crawford told the Circuit Civil Court the rear-ending with a difference took place on a race-karting track in the Kylemore Industrial Estate, Killeen Rd, Dublin, in Mar 2009.
