  • Careless driving case dismissed at Portlaoise District Court Careless driving causing injury · Co. Laois

    Jacob Oriahi, a 61-year-old taxi driver from Mountmellick, was accused of careless driving that injured a cyclist in the Cloncourse area on 22 December 2024. The injured cyclist, Baha Baha, a 66-year-old man, said he broke his leg in the collision. Gardaí generated a summons under Section 52 of the Road Traffic Act after a roadside breath test was passed. At Portlaoise District Court on 10 June 2026, the defence argued the summons was one day out of date and the State offered no evidence of careless driving, and the case was dismissed.
