Two men trapped in car after crash on notorious ‘ugly mile’

TWO men were trapped in their overturned car for over half-an-hour after it crashed on Co Clare’s notorious “ugly mile” in exactly the same spot as a crash last month.

The men were travelling along the main N85 Ennis to Ennistymon in a silver Volvo S40 late on Tuesday night when the car suddenly left the road at Ballyknock, Kilnamona, and overturned onto its roof in a river.

Gardaí arrived at the scene at around 11.15pm and discovered the driver and passenger, both men in their 20s, apparently uninjured but trapped in the car.
