Limerick man awarded €52k after defendant's version of M7 crash 'stretched credibility'

The judge concluded that accident occurred because the defendant was impatient with the speed at which the complainant was travelling at the time

Mr Justice Anthony Barr found Mr Ryan's version of the accident was the true account and he awarded Mr Ryan €52,869 against Mr O'Sullivan.

A man has been awarded more than €52,000 by the High Court over an accident involving three cars on the M7 motorway more than four years ago.

John Ryan, Rydane Skule, Fedamore, Co. Limerick, claimed his car was hit when a car, driven by Patrick O'Sullivan, was overtaking him, went into a wobble and lost control near the junction for the Barack Obama Plaza in Moneygall, Co. Offaly on May 13, 2017. He claimed Mr O'Sullivan's car came over into his lane and a collision occurred in that lane.
