Motorist escapes unhurt as junction claims another accident victim

AN inner city street junction, which witnessed three car smashes in as many hours recently, was the focal point of local residents’ complaints yesterday.

A Cork woman had a miraculous escape during last evening’s rush hour when her car hit a van, mounted a kerb and overturned at the junction of Coach Street and Peter Street.

The woman remained trapped for almost 30 minutes as emergency Cork City fire brigade personnel cut her from the car.
