Fatal truck pile-up triggers traffic chaos

TRAFFIC chaos ensued yesterday on one of the country’s busiest roads when a lorry smashed into three trucks, claiming one life and leaving three drivers in hospital.

Miraculously, said gardaí, there were no cars in the vicinity at the time of the early morning accident.

The dead man, who is believed to be Polish, was driving a truckload of zinc ore, heading south along the main Cork-Dublin road.
