Driver arrested after car speeds into crowds at Co Louth graveyard

A man has been injured after reportedly being hit by a car at a graveyard in Co Louth this afternoon, according to local media reports.

A grandfather has been seriously injured as a car drove at speed through a cemetery, as thousands of people attended an annual blessing of the graves service.

The elderly man was among a number of people hurt in the “terrifying” incident at St Patrick’s Cemetery in Co Louth, the parish priest said.
