Two injured in Hebron Road crash

Two people were taken to hospital at the weekend following a single-car accident on the Hebron Road.

Gardai and ambulance services were called to the scene near Lakeside on Saturday evening shortly after 8.30pm. Two fire brigades rushed to the incident shortly thereafter, when it was established that the driver of the vehicle was trapped.

Having been cut free, the driver was then taken to St Luke’s General Hospital with suspected neck and back injuries, along with one passenger. The road remained closed for the duration of the incident.

Local homeowners have previously expressed concern over the high volume of traffic on the road.
