A jury acquits a delivery truck driver of careless driving causing the death of a 78-year-old woman. The case goes to trial after the incident in Monkstown, where the woman is reported to have been walking to work on the morning in question. According to trial accounts, she is knocked down by a truck. Prosecutors brought a charge of careless driving causing death, and the matter is decided by the jury. The acquittal means the driver is found not guilty and faces no conviction on the charge presented. Both reports describe the same outcome and focus on the woman’s circumstances at the time—walking to work in Monkstown before being hit by a truck—as well as the charge related to her death. No additional details about evidence, injuries, or court findings beyond the not-guilty verdict are provided in the sources.
