Default Driver punished for dangerous overtake

Wait until it is SAFE!
QUOTE:
A mother and her two young children had a lucky escape yesterday after their car smashed into a stone wall and flipped over three times. The single-vehicle incident occurred at around 9am on the R476 Ennis to Corofin road in Co Clare.

The woman was travelling towards Corofin at the time and was overtaking a cyclist when she had to swerve to avoid an oncoming vehicle. The Nissan Qashqai car ploughed into a stone wall, narrowly missing a pillar at the front of a house.

The car came to a stop on its side on top of a garden wall and is understood to have flipped over as many as three times. The car was left facing the direction from which it had come.

Debris, including rocks from the wall, were left strewn across the front garden and driveway of the house. Locals raised the alarm and ran to the car.

The woman and a child who had been sitting in the front passenger seat managed to climb out of the car while a second child was reported to have been 'screaming' in the back seat.

The cyclist, whom the vehicle was passing at the time, was not injured but was left shaken by the incident."

GOOD NEWS.
