Seconds make difference for Corkman travelling on M8 who had near miss with golf ball

Photographer and historian Bill Power from Mitchelstown was travelling on the Fermoy to Cork stretch of the M8 motorway when a golf ball almost went through his windscreen.

Mr Power was overtaking on the stretch of road, as was the car ahead of him when a white object crossed the barrier from the opposite side of the motorway in a moment that he described as "one of those things that you just don't expect to happen."
