21 injured in Luas and bus collision

THREE people – one with possible spinal injuries – remained in a serious condition in hospital last night following a collision between a tram and double decker bus on Dublin’s O’Connell Street.

The crash occurred just before 3pm on the capital’s bustling main thoroughfare and involved a Red line tram travelling towards Connolly Station and a number 16 Dublin Bus heading out of the city.

The 21 injured people were taken to three Dublin Hospitals – St James’s, Beaumont and the Mater.
