Driver cheats death after crash barrier impales car
An investigation is under way into the accident which saw a section of the metal safety barrier snap off, shear through the driver’s door, pass through the rear passenger seats and end up sticking out of the boot.
The incident happened after two cars collided on the narrow R747 road outside Arklow, Co Wicklow, resulting in one of the vehicles, an Opel Vectra, hitting the roadside barrier.
