Cases
latest first- Tractor owner sentenced for brake failure crash in Bracknagh, Offaly Road traffic offence (vehicle maintenance – brake failure) · Co. Offaly
On 25 January 2020, a tractor's brakes failed on Rathangan Road, Bracknagh, Offaly, causing it to collide with a van. The driver was not the owner of the vehicle and was cleared of any wrongdoing. James Wallace, the owner of the tractor, was held responsible for the vehicle's maintenance. He was sentenced at Tullamore District Court in January 2023, where Judge Andrew Cody fined him €300. The court heard that Wallace was unaware the brakes were faulty and that his father had become unwell, leaving him shorthanded.
