‘I was able to jump out and am lucky to be alive’
Nomeriano Rivera, 32, and Renato Claribo, 41, sat on the roadside nursing bruises and visibly swollen cut legs after their six-year -old Ford Escort was shunted backwards and sideways into the central divide on the Naas Road.
The two men, originally from the Philippines but now living in Co Dublin, were on their way home from playing a basketball match when they were caught up in the horror. Almost an hour later, they were still sitting on the ground beside their wrecked car, waiting for help.
