A 50-year-old man has appeared in court following a two-car collision in which an 89-year-old woman died.
Martin Mittmansgruber, with an address in Austria, appeared at Letterkenny District Court in Co Donegal, charged with dangerous driving.
Elizabeth Cave died yesterday following the collision, which happened on Sunday morning.
Mr Mittmansgruber is charged that on 25 August at Inver Glebe, Inver, Co Donegal he did drive a vehicle in a manner (including speed) which, having regard to all the circumstances of the case (including the condition of the vehicle, the nature, condition and use of such place in which it is driven and the amount of traffic which then actually was or might reasonably be expected then to be therein) was dangerous to the public, whereby it caused serious bodily harm to another person, namely Mrs Cave.
The charge is Contrary to Section 53 (1) and 53 (2) of the Road Traffic Act, 2011.
Mr Mittmansgruber did not speak during the brief appearance and was assigned a German interpreter.
Garda Sergeant Oliver Devenney told the court he arrested Mr Mittmansgruber yesterday at 4.20pm and charged him at 6.23pm.
When charged, Mr Mittmansgruber replied: "I have nothing to add."
Sgt Devenney said there was, in principal, an objection to bail because the accused lives outside the jurisdiction.
However, he added that the State could be led if strict conditions were imposed on Mr Mittmansgruber if granted bail.
They include that he appear in court in person, be of good behaviour and remain contactable by phone and email with gardaí.
A sum of €6,000 was also lodged in court on behalf of the accused with an address at 24A Arnberg, Wartberg, Austria.
The court was also told that other charges are being considered by the Director of Public Prosecutions.
Solicitor for the accused, Gerry McGovern asked the court to adjourn the case until 6 November in Donegal town.
Judge Ciaran Liddy agreed to the request and signed off on the bail conditions for the accused.
Mrs Cave, from St Ernan's, Donegal town, was taken to Sligo University Hospital following the crash.
She died yesterday afternoon.
