Pensioner denies responsibility for Donegal crash that injured girl

The DPP has interrupted a civil trial in which an elderly man is being sued after his car swerved into another vehicle, resulting in spinal injuries to a child.

Eighty-one-year-old William Barr of Middletown, Gweedore, Co Donegal lost his own wife in the crash and claims he is not liable because the incident was caused by a medical ailment.
