A motorist who drank six beers before killing two men was today handed a determinate custodial sentence of five years and four months.
Jon O'Hara, a passenger in the Skoda taxi, died from injuries sustained in the collision as did Marian Marius Molan – a passenger in Ursu's car. A forensic expert tasked to examine the horrific crash scene said both of the driver's side wheels of the Focus car had crossed the central line before impact.
At a sentencing hearing today, Judge Smyth told Ursu that she was dealing with a "piece of serious bad driving'' which resulted in the "loss of two men's lives forever and two other men sustained life changing injuries''.
