Crash driver 'distracted' by woman putting hand on knee

A man became “so distracted” when a woman he took for a spin put her hand on his knee that he hit a bollard, overturned, and wrote off his car at a roundabout.

Neither party was seriously injured, but they both ended up in hospital, a court was told.

Mick Carroll, aged 39, of Kilbrean, Kilcummin, Killarney, Co Kerry, was summonsed before Killarney District Court yesterday where he pleaded guilty to driving without due care and attention at Lissivigeen, Killarney on February 11, 2015.
