Two street lights on one of Cork's busiest roundabouts were out of order on the night a nurse was knocked down while crossing the road beneath a dark flyover.

Sunita Chacko, 27, originally from India but who had been living in Wilton while working as an intensive care nurse in Cork University Hospital (CUH), suffered fatal head injuries when she was struck by a car as she crossed three lanes of traffic on the Sarsfield Road roundabout in Wilton just before 9pm on March 14 last. She died in CUH from her injuries almost a month later.
