PICS: Cork woman escapes uninjured after swan smashes into windscreen

That poor swan… some may find these images upsetting.

A Cork woman had a dramatic encounter with a swan on the Cork-Limerick road yesterday, in what has quickly been dubbed ‘Swan Brake’.

Mary Murphy told the Irish Examiner that she’s just happy that her “family wasn’t coming to see me in the hospital as a wreck, or picking out a coffin for me” after the gruesome accident.
