A taxi driver was killed after his cab veered off the M50 in Dublin for no apparent reason and crashed into a broken-down truck parked on the hard shoulder of the motorway, an inquest has heard.
The driver, Michael Sterio, 70, a married father of six of Garthy Wood, Knocklyon, Co Dublin died instantly as a result of the collision which occurred on the southbound side of the M50 between Junction 12 (Firhouse) and Junction 13 (Dundrum/Sandyford) at around 2.40pm on September 8, 2020.
A sitting of Dublin District Coroner’s Court on Tuesday heard evidence from several eye-witnesses that the victim’s silver Renault Fluence suddenly veered off the left lane of the motorway into the hard shoulder.
