Woman with fogged up car windows ‘didn’t know she knocked down cyclist’

Sinead King, aged 29, did not de-mist her car windows before setting out on her drive to work. She accepted that she could not see out properly and later told gardaí she had no idea she had knocked someone over.

She said she noticed four children playing on one side of the road and then heard a loud bang. She noticed her windscreen was broken and assumed her former partner, who she had difficulties with in the past, had attacked her car.
