A man whose careless driving resulted in the death of a cyclist has been jailed for six months.
Saleh Moxamed (39), of Fernwood Avenue, Tallaght, left the scene of the incident on Parkgate Street after he knocked down Viorica Sistic, who had a child aged 11 on her bike carrier. They had just been visiting Dublin Zoo.
Moxamed pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to driving without care and attention at the junction of Conyngham Road and Parkgate Street on December 2nd, 2006. He pleaded guilty to being the driver of a car which caused injury to a woman who later died, and failure to keep the car at the scene. He initially pleaded not guilty to dangerous driving causing the death of Ms Sistic, and changed his plea after the charge was reduced to careless driving.
