The court heard that at 3.30pm a two vehicle road traffic collision took place at Craigavon Area Hospital.

The injured party, a female, had frontal damage to her vehicle and suffered a sore face and sore ribs.

There was frontal damage to the defendant’s vehicle.

O’Hare had driven out and collided with the other vehicle causing it to mount a footpath and collide with a wall.

A solicitor representing the defendant said it was a lapse of concentration on her part.

He added that she worked as a cleaner at the hospital and used her car to get to and from work.

She had no previous convictions save for three points she received in 2011.
