Tyre Failure Led to Tragic Birthday Crash | Cork News
Description
A father’s heartbreak turned to courtroom tragedy when a fatal crash on his daughter’s sixth birthday was traced to a hidden tyre defect—not his speeding or her unbuckled seatbelt. The BMW’s rear tyre, engineered with negative camber and worn beyond safety, detached mid-drive, causing catastrophic loss of control. Though Meshkat pleaded guilty to careless driving after being charged with dangerous driving, the judge spared him jail, citing his grief, cooperation, and clean record. Fined $5,000 and banned from driving for 12 months, he now faces life with his family and patients, haunted by a failure no sentence can undo.
