Cork garda had to leap out of way to avoid car driven at him

A Garda sergeant had to avoid a car driven at him when he intervened at the scene of a man arguing with a woman driver.

Judge Olann Kelleher sentenced the motorist, David Ross, to five months in jail yesterday and banned him from driving for 10 years.

Ross, of 55 Mary Aikenhead Place, Gurranabraher, Cork, pleaded guilty to charges of dangerous driving and having no insurance.
