A learner driver who claimed she suffered a back injury after a diesel spill on a road in Co Laois allegedly caused her car to crash into a bridge has lost her High Court damages action.
Mr Justice Michael Twomey concluded Kellie Quinlivan had not established, on the balance of probabilities, the diesel spill caused the accident on the morning of July 6th 2015.
The judge had “misgivings” about the reliability of Ms Quinlivan’s memory for reasons including, at a meeting in her solicitor’s office prior to her case being heard, she told an MIBI doctor she had no previous accidents.
