Jailed for dangerous driving at roundabout

Death or serious injury could have resulted from the outrageous driving of a man who, speeding away from gardaí, drove the wrong way around roundabouts and crashed into a CIÉ bus.

Judge Leo Malone stated at Cork District Court yesterday: “The public were in grave danger of serious injury of death. This was outrageous behaviour.”

Denis Kepple, aged 25, with an address at Monastery Way, Fairhill, Cork, pleaded guilty to several charges including counts of dangerous driving arising out of the incident.
