A driver who crashed causing the death of a close friend after he became confused over his Sat Nav telling him to go the wrong direction near the Cliffs of Moher has been given a suspended sentence. Mr Frydrych died in the crash while Mr Killeen, who collided with the car, suffered head injuries, including a fractured skull and was hospitalised for one month. The defendant from Jugback Crescent, Swords, Co Dublin pleaded guilty to careless driving causing the death of Mr Frydrych and careless driving causing serious bodily harm to Mr Killeen. Defence counsel Rebecca Treacy said Mr Barski was following a Sat Nav system as he travelled from Doolin to the Cliffs of Moher. “On coming to the junction, Mr Barski thought that he had to go right to the Cliffs and the Sat Nav was telling him to go straight on.
