Killer lorry driver drove off

The driver of an articulated lorry which crushed a Dublin woman taking part in a charity cycle to Wexford told gardaĆ­ he did not know he had driven over her, an inquest has heard.

“The cyclist wobbled and subsequently fell to the right directly in front of the rear wheels and the wheels just went directly over her upper body...This all happened in a split second. The lady screamed before she fell to the ground, prior to the wheels going over her.”
