Gardaí injured after patrol car is rammed

Two female gardaí were injured yesterday when their patrol car was struck head-on by another vehicle as they drove into an estate in Limerick to investigate a domestic incident.

One of the gardaí was treated for what is believed to be a neck and back injury.

A gold-coloured Rover was responsible for ramming the garda car, according to eye witnesses. The patrol car was badly damaged, and ambulances brought the two injured gardaí to the Mid-Westerrn Regional Hospital. They were both released last night.
