Cyclist feared for life after road accident

A Polish school principal cycling in West Cork described how he feared for his life after being struck by a lorry.

He said it was a miracle his seriously injured left leg did not have to be amputated.

Jacek Fortuna, a middle-aged man who was working in Ireland at the time of the incident six years ago, brought the case against Tadhg Scannell and Christy Lucey Transport, the driver and owner, respectively, of the truck involved.
