An elderly motorist who had just parked outside her home in Dublin has no recollection of fatally running over her sister-in-law a few moments later, an inquest has heard.

Gardaí believe the driver, Mary Fingleton, may have mistakenly put the transmission in her automatic vehicle into the “drive” position when she intended to reverse.
