From Rte


Four people are still being treated in hospital following Wednesday's crash between a Luas tram and a bus in Dublin city centre.
One woman remains in a serious but stable condition.
Three other people are said to be in a stable condition.


Red Line Luas services returned to normal yesterday after the incident on O'Connell Street.
Investigations into the cause of the crash are continuing.

I hope they can all make a speedy and full recovery. Thoughts with them and their families at this difficult time. Hopefully they'll soon get answers as to why it occurred.

if it was the case where the bus driver had to move to let the garda pass, he prob just at the spur of the moment got distracted and moved without thinking into the path of the luas completely forgetting there's be one coming. It can happen if put under pressure by loud sirens!

If there's one thing I hate is this world, is the concept of "FAIL".

It has to be the single most idiotic and annoying catchphrase on the planet.

Cannot thank that post enough.

If the bus had a green light then where and when Gardai passed isnt an issue. The luas shouldnt have moved unless the path was clear. Sounds to me like the LUAS driver jumped the gun

I agree. It's time to switch to:

Yeah, we know that the tram crashed into the side of the bus, but did tram break the stop signal?

Is there a way we can blame it on the immigrints? Even when it was the bus, I knew it was the immigrints.
