Garda who left the scene of fatal crash he caused is spared jail

Caused a life or death crash and fled the scene as someone who should clearly know the rules so has no excuse...
I'm also not surprised at the verdict In some ways what with the country how it is.
As to did he or didn't he commit murder vs manslaughter vs everyone puts your own life in your hands in a car I can see some factors too...
He was going 20 over the limit.
She was going 50 under.
Ive wanted minimum limits on motorways for a while myself..
Tbh it's scary how fast you come up on cars crawling on the motorway.
It's also why they have minimum merging road length section requirements on motorways so cars can get up to 80-120 to merge so dangerous situations like these don't exist.
Still think this guard should be facing some more serious punishment since he fled the scene
