Wrecked cars litter Dublin streets after bus driver’s hour of madness

WRECKED cars were left strewn along one of the country’s busiest roads after a bus driver rampaged through Dublin, bringing chaos and terror to the capital city.

During an hour of madness, the man stole a private coach from his employers, drove along the Luas tram lines, tore the wrong way down a packed road, ploughed into two dozen cars and other vehicles, killed one woman and injured 14 people.

The disgruntled employee of a private bus company drove for miles pursued by 18 garda units and the air support helicopter, forcing his way through roadblocks and evading the shots of gardaí who tried to fire at his tyres.
