AN investigation continues today into a horrific collision involving a Bus Éireann coach that claimed the life of an elderly car driver yesterday.

The tragedy near Arklow in Co Wicklow was one of four fatal traffic accidents at the weekend.

Six of 25 passengers on the bus, the scheduled 4pm service from Dublin to Rosslare, suffered what gardaí described as “minor injuries”.
