A disqualified driver drove down the wrong side of the M50 and a dual carriageway to evade gardaí­ before ploughing into the car of an elderly couple, a court has heard. Reilly, a disqualified driver with 126 previous convictions, was trying to evade gardaí­ after he was stopped and asked for his driving licence. When asked for his licence, Reilly took off at speed, going the wrong way around a roundabout before joining the M50. He clipped one car while swerving across lanes on the M50 and reversed into another car at the Ballymun slip road. Ellen Armstrong suffered multiple rib fractures and other injuries in the crash, the court heard.
