Ivan Petrov, 32, from Co Armagh, has been charged with causing the deaths of Peter and Loughlin Devlin by dangerous driving. The collision occurred on December 27th on the Killylea Road when a Mercedes driven by Loughlin Devlin collided head-on with an Audi driven by Petrov. The court heard that a woman passenger in the Mercedes remains in a critical condition in hospital.
Judge says he believes Ivan Petrov ‘has a cavalier attitude to his driving responsibilities’ due to past offending
The Bulgarian national is accused of causing the deaths of Peter and Loughlin Devlin by driving dangerously on the Killylea Road, Co Armagh on December 27th last. He is further charged with dangerous driving causing grievous bodily injury to a woman, who the court heard remains in hospital “in a critical condition.”
Three other passengers in the Mercedes were taken to hospital – the woman who remains in a critical condition and another woman and a baby boy, who have since been released. The constable said Mr Petrov told police he was diabetic, felt his blood sugar was low and had pulled over to eat a chocolate bar and then “felt that he was okay to drive”. He also told police “he cannot remember the accident” and his last memory was eating the chocolate in Armagh before continuing his journey.
