Damaged wire barriers on roads will ‘skewer’ someone

Someone will end up “skewered” in a horrific accident unless repair work is carried out on “lethal” damage to wire barriers used to separate traffic on motorways and bypasses, it has been warned.

Prompt maintenance repairing damaged tensioned steel wire barriers along bypasses in Kerry is not being carried out, according to Gerry Christie, a motorcyclist and mountaineer with Kerry Mountain Rescue.
