Man fled scene after uninsured car hit and injured woman in Waterford city
Waterford Courthouse
A man appeared in court last week for fleeing the scene after striking a female with his uninsured car.
Ziad Ouro-Agouda (24), who has an address at Castlepark in Mallow, was driving his Mercedes-Benz in the early hours of the morning on August 20, 2023.
At approximately 3:05am on Manor Street, Agouda performed a u-turn, and struck a female with his vehicle while driving on the wrong side of the road.
Upon arrival, gardaí found the woman lying in the middle of the road. She was brought to hospital to treat minor injuries.
In October 2023, the vehicle was located in Mallow with a dent on its bumper and with no insurance. Its owner, Mr. Agouda, made full admissions to gardaí.
He appeared in court last week to receive his sentence.
The court heard that there had been significant delays in the legal process, and the three-year delay in getting the matter to sentencing was discussed in depth.
Agouda was sentenced to four months' imprisonment, suspended in full. He was also disqualified from driving for four years and ordered to pay a fine of €400.
