The case was heard in Naas courthouse
A lorry driver whose action led to a four vehicle collision at Barberstown, Maynooth, on April 12, 2017, was fined €750 for driving without due care and attention at Kilcock District Court on December 18.
Damien Lydon (45), of Kilcarty, Dunsany, Meath, who had no previous convictions, hit a vehicle in front of him, which hit another which, in turn, hit a third car. There were no injuries.
David Powderly, solicitor, for Mr Lydon, said his client thought the car in front of him at a roundabout was going to move but it did not move while he (Lydon) did.
