Let's hope he walked away from that. The car facing east must have spun badly.

That taxi driver is really unfortunate.I remember seeing the aftermath of him T boning a van on Tara street a few years ago.What were the cops doing chasing a car on the quays?.Tourists everywhere and no space for error.City blocked up for hours today.They should put more of them on mountain bikes..

Newspapers are saying some stressed out law student was crashing into cars around the city before he hit the garda car on the quays.  After that it was a game of dominos, garda car hit the taxi who hit the lorry...

I guess the law student will get some practical experience of the law now that he'll sued by many motorists.
