Ambulance crashed on way to fatal car accident

An ambulance crashed on the way to the scene of a fatal car crash, it emerged during a High Court case yesterday.

The case dated to April 10, 2008. Senior counsel John Lucey said the crash was a complicating factor but it was not something which contributed to the fatality in the original accident. He said this aspect was examined but was never the subject of proceedings.

The ambulance crash was mentioned during the ruling of the fatal case at the High Court in Cork. Alexander Alajevs, aged 36, was living at Silverbrook, Mill Rd, Corbally, Limerick.
