Seán McCárthaighA Galway grandmother suffered fatal injuries when she was struck by a vehicle while crossing a busy road just 50 metres from her home, an inquest has heard. “I could do nothing to avoid her,” said Mr Feeney, who had alerted emergency services to the crash. In reply to questions from the coroner, Aisling Gannon, Mr Feeney said he was surprised to find someone crossing the road at that location. A care worker who came on the scene and attended the victim, Chrystal Burke, said Ms Casserly had laboured breathing which stopped at one stage. He noted Ms Casserly was about 50 metres from her home, while the closest pedestrian crossing to the scene of the crash was 280 metres away.
