A man who caused the death of Irishman Francis Shanley through dangerous driving showed a “selfish disregard” for other motorists, a judge said yesterday.
She described one story that centred on mechanical faults as a lie and said she believed that Omigie dangerously exited the major arterial road in a belated attempt to avoid paying a toll. Omigie, a part-time electrical trades assistant claimed he had no idea the crash had happened behind him and the first he knew about it was when his wife mentioned it the next day. However, witness accounts mentioned the extremely loud noise and that led Judge Culver to decide that Omigie had heard some of the collisions behind him.
