At an earlier court hearing the judge was told how Mr. Andreas left the scene of the crash but was apprehended by Gardai shortly after. He was arrested and charged in Limerick District court with dangerous driving and with failing to stop, remain and report to Gardai at the scene of the crash.

The case against both men was today returned to trial at the next sitting of the Circuit Court in Limerick, which begins next week.
