An R driver who left a woman with severe injuries after he drove into her car while on the wrong side of the road has been given a 15-month sentence
An R driver who left a woman with severe injuries after a head-on collision has been given a 15 month sentence.
A prosecution lawyer told Craigavon Crown Court that McGrath had overtaken two cars on the Magheraconluce Road near Anahilt and was negotiating a bend on the wrong side of the road when his black Seat Leon drove into the front of the woman's car on 7 January 2020. She then underwent a nine-hour spinal surgery before being moved to a convalescence home in a wheelchair after an extended hospital stay.
A lawyer for the defence said McGrath, who had passed his test six months before the crash, was "deeply ashamed of his actions" and had written a letter of apology.
