Motorist convicted in ‘slamming on brakes’ collision

A motorist and three passengers all complained of injuries and were taken to hospital after she slammed on the brakes “without explanation”, resulting in a minor collision with a pizza delivery man behind her.

Garda Bryan Murphy testified that the delivery man, Jacek Czochara, aged 43, from Highfield Court, Ballincollig, Co Cork, told him: “She stopped suddenly in front of her, resulting in a minor collision.”
