Driver cleared of running over man’s foot at road bowling game

Charges against a woman accused of driving over a man’s foot at a road-bowling match have been dismissed.

Seán O’Leary, 73, was at the score of bowls in Whitechurch, Co Cork, on April 25, 2012, when he said a car going through the crowd rolled over his right foot, causing him to fall forward and have the wing mirror clip his shoulder.

He said he shouted in pain and people shouted at the motorist to get her to stop but she drove on.
