Gardaí accepted incident occurred as driver failed to adequately check his mirrors before moving
A truck driver in Dublin received an eight-month suspended sentence for careless driving causing serious injury to a cyclist in 2020. The cyclist was critically injured after being "squashed" between the truck and another car, requiring multiple surgeries and weeks in the hospital. The judge cited the driver's inattention and failure to observe the cyclist as the cause. The driver was not disqualified from driving due to his employment and family responsibilities.
