TWO investigations were launched yesterday after a man was killed when a bus crashed and landed on top of his 4x4 at a notorious accident blackspot.

Man killed after bus crushes 4x4

The victim’s partner, who was a front-seat passenger in the Toyota Landcruiser when the Bus Éireann bus came down on top of them in Co Meath, miraculously walked away from the scene with minor injuries, but is extremely traumatised.

The bus driver was on his way to Enfield to begin a daily early morning service to Dublin at about 6.30am when the bus struck a roundabout on the Kilcock side of the old N4 road, and apparently flew into the air, coming down on one side of the 4x4, before landing in a nearby field.
