Motorist cannot remember crash in which his young daughter died, inquest hears

A motorist involved in a fatal crash in which his young daughter died in Dublin two years ago has no recollection of the incident, an inquest had heard.

A sitting of Dublin City Coroner’s Court was told that Avelino “Billy” Bombita has no memory of the collision in which his daughter, Ashley, 11, suffered fatal head injuries.

An investigation by gardai concluded Mr Bombita must have fallen asleep at the wheel after hearing he had finished a 12-hour night shift a few hours earlier at St Mary’s Hospital in Phoenix Park, Dublin where he worked as a nurse.
