On 30 April 2021, Father Ned Hassett, a 53-year-old priest, turned into oncoming traffic on the N25 between Waterford and Dungarvan, failing to see Bobby Bohill's motorcycle. The crash caused life-changing injuries to Bohill, including a broken femur and a traumatic brain injury. Hassett pleaded guilty to careless driving causing serious harm in November 2021 and was disqualified from driving for two years and fined €250 at the Circuit Criminal Court in Waterford.
