A MAN was prosecuted at Tullamore District Court after muck left on a road in Rahan caused a car crash.
Defendant Ken O Shea, 36, Lakefield, Clonfanlough, Athlone, had been carrying out work on February 5 last year at The Derries, Rahan, Tullamore.
Sergeant James O Sullivan told the court James Buckley was driving his vehicle at Silver Bridge, Rahan and there was a large amount of muck on the road as a result of excavations carried out by a tractor.
Mr Buckley drove over the muck and crashed, sustaining serious injuries. The defendant had been doing some work for the owner of the land and had not cleaned the road.
