Court hears of 'dramatic accident that never happened'
A consultant engineer has told a jury it would have taken up to seven hours to remove a Scania truck and its load from a ditch into which one allegedly fell after colliding with a Rover car.
Dr Denis Woods, who has published 43 papers for international conferences on many aspects of road traffic accidents, also told the Dublin Circuit Criminal Court jury that the driver of the car would at least have been seriously injured or possibly killed in a frontal collision at 30 mph.
