Two German motorcyclists injured in collision with car

Two German motorcyclists were injured yesterday, one seriously, after they collided with a rental car in Co Clare.

The collision occurred at around 2.45pm at Mountrivers Bridge on the outskirts of Doonbeg on the main N67 road. The two motorbikes crashed head-on into a car driven by an American tourist. It’s understood the car clipped another vehicle before colliding with a bridge and then the two motorcycles.

One of the bikes became embedded in the front of the car while the second was thrown over the car.
