Two have narrow escape as car hits bridge

TWO young motorists, whom gardaí believe were racing each other, were lucky to survive a high-speed crash on a bridge yesterday.

Gardaí said it was very lucky they weren’t dealing with a double fatality after the smash on Youghal Bridge just before 6am.

The two men are in their early 20s. One is from Ardmore, Co Waterford, and the other from Ballincollig, Co Cork.
