11 people injured in two collisions in Clare

Eleven people, including several with special needs, were injured in two separate road traffic collisions in Co Clare yesterday.

The first collision, which involved a minibus and a car, happened at around 1pm near Cranny Cross on the main N68 Ennis to Kilrush road. The accident happened close to where a young man was critically injured in a single-car crash last Thursday morning.

The minibus is understood to have been carrying a group of children with special needs, of varying ages, when it collided with a car.
