A 75-year-old retired teacher who pleaded guilty to causing grievous bodily injury (GBI) through dangerous and careless driving after he crossed the white line and hit a vintage car being driven by a husband and wife on their way to Donegal last summer. 

The man appeared at Fermanagh Court for sentencing on Monday.
Victor McBreen, from Shercock in County Cavan, appeared on Monday, accompanied by his wife.
He is charged with two counts of causing GBI by driving dangerously and two counts of causing GBI by driving without due care and attention. 
District Judge Bonita Boyd was to deal with the two driving without due care and attention charges on Monday.
The court heard that at 12 noon on Sunday, June 18, 2017, police were called to an RTC on the Lough Shore Road.
The injured party and his wife had been driving their classic MG car from Enniskillen to Donegal when they say they were hit “head on” by McBreen, who had crossed the white line onto their side of the road.
“The three drivers behind would also say the defendant crossed the white line,” the court heard.
The couples’ extensive injuries were outlined to the court. The man suffered a punctured lung, five broken ribs, a broken shoulder, 14 fractures in his femurs, five stitches to his right eye and multiple lacerations to his legs. 
His wife suffered a dislocated left shoulder, two fractures in her upper left arm, a fracture in her right knee and deep lacerations to both legs.
The pair were treated in various hospitals and nursing homes. 
As of August 2017, the man still required 24-hour care at his son’s home, while his wife had still not regained power in her arm.
District Judge Boyd was handed the statements of the two injured parties in the case and the statement of Dr. Campbell Brown, who treated the husband and wife immediately after the RTC.
McBreen’s defence barrister Gavin Kearns urged District Judge Boyd to read character references from McBreen’s local priest and the headmaster of the school where he had previously worked which “speak of him in glowing terms.”
He also referred to McBreen as “a pillar of his community.”
Mr. Kearns said this was a case of “careless driving from momentary inattention.”
He pointed out that McBreen had a clear 55-year driving record, he was well below the speed limit, he was not using a mobile phone and was fully insured.
He said the couples’ injuries were “as bad as they were” because “the antiquity of that vehicle [meant that] it essentially crumbled.”
Mr. Kearns said McBreen offered “an unmitigated apology” to the couple.
District Judge Boyd adjourned the case until April 30 for a pre-sentence report.
