Bus driver caused 'odyssey of destruction', court hears

A former bus driver has gone on trial for causing the death of a 62-year-old mother when he rampaged through west Dublin in a private bus he took without authority from his employer's depot two years ago.

Peter Clarke (aged 38) collided with numerous vehicles on May 07, 2006 in what prosecution counsel, Ms Pauline Walley SC, described at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court as "an odyssey of destruction" resulting in Ms Marie Buckley's death.
