    I think the poster means what caused the incident, not what was the incident.

    A man in an Audi A6 caused it. Says so in the report.

    The Garda pulled over a vehicle, the vehicle sped off. Case closed.

    WHY not what. Was he intoxicated? On a rampage, trying to deliberately run someone down..

    It's very clear what happened, but thanks for repeating it.

    Guy arrived in the garda station for something unconnected and it was noticed that he was a chap from the North who is wanted for questioning. He ran out, garda chased him and somehow got caught in the car and dragged about 500 feet.

    Didn't he torpedo a parked car and kill the man sitting in it? That guy is in some deep schtuck.

    Average sentence for death by dangerous driving is 3 and a half years, partially suspended. I doubt this will be a big imposition on his life if he was already wanted in NI.

    Sorry yeah, I kind of buried the lead there. Innocent man in a parked car, shocking.

    Very sad. The poor man just minding his own business sitting in his car on the street. And the young guard dragged for 500 metres. That's a long way to be dragged. Head injuries. Terrible.

    Ah come on. Yeah, but why did he do it? There is obviously some depth and backstory to this. Unless he decided to just do it for the craic.

    Why are you taking such a simplistic aspergeristic perspective on it?

    Anyhow, RIP to the innocent deceased in the Skoda.
    I hope the injured Garda recovers.
    May the A6 driver get whats coming to him.

    The man entered the garda station and was recognised as a person of interest by one of the guards. Said guard approached and the man fled and got into his car. The guard attempted to wrench him from the vehicle and instead, the man drove down the street (all downhill) dragging the guard with him. He sharply turned the corner onto the main street and lost control of the car (presumably didn't realise he was driving head-first into an island roundabout) and smashed into the poor man sitting in his car.
    A much-loved member of the community and a total innocent. Our entire town is in mourning.

    What did the PSNI want him for?

    Was he potenitally involved in or had links to terrorism and paramilitaries?

    My guess would be burglaries.

    And the GSOC will probably criticise the local Gardaí for putting lives at risk by trying to arrest him.

    Poor taste, opportunistic and absolutely without foundation.

    Sympathies to the victim's family and friends.

    I truthfully don't know how guards motivate themselves to catch criminals when the justice system in this country is so twisted. Just something that really boils my blood when you see guilty, beyond any shadow of a doubt, criminals getting minimal or suspended sentences. Sorry, I know this is off topic so I'll bow out.

    + make sure to wear a suit and definitely a pair of glasses in court, you would do 12 months max in a min security prison.

    Maybe throw out that his mother has cancer too. And he has a special needs child with one of his exes that was left innocent from the waist down because of his gammy ADHD genes.

    Might it be possible that he has no previous convictions? Ah sure that's grand so. Off you go with the probation act.
