Elderly man struck by Luas tram

A MAN who was hit by a Luas tram yesterday and “bounced” onto the pavement, became the second person to be hit by rail transport in Dublin in just 24 hours.

Workers eating lunch on St Stephen’s Green were shocked as they passed the injured man on the ground while emergency workers tended to the bloody scene.

The accident happened as the man, in his 60s, was crossing tram lines at the bottom of Harcourt Street during peak lunchtime traffic.
