65-year-old broadcaster with C103 and 96FM Paudie Palmer died at Cork University Hospital on the 8th of January last year.
Bohdan Bezverkhi of Rigsdale House, Rigsdale, Ballinhassig Co Cork has pleaded not guilty to dangerous driving causing death at Dunkereen Cross in Innishannon on the 29th of December 2022.
He pleaded guilty to the charges of failing to report the incident to Gardaí, failing to offer assistance, failing to stop and leaving the scene of the crash.
Prosecution barrister Brendan Kelly gave an outline of the evidence to the jury at the Central Criminal Court in Cork today, which he stressed was not evidence in itself.
Mr Kelly said it would be the state’s case that Mr Palmer had right of way on the road.
The case continues next Tuesday
