    From Aodhan O Riordain's twitter: Extremely serious accident on Vernon Ave, Clontarf. Huge emergency response. Very concerning. ESB lines down. Gardai have sealed off area.

    Anyone know anything further?

    The road is closed. Saw ambulance leaving with a garda escort. I think it may have been a RTA with a lampost just at the crossroads before nolans, I couldnt see as it was dark.

    I thought I heard a number of sirens last night - I don't like it when I'm right sometimes :(

    Very Strange for it to be a single car and a Garda at that. Hope the garda is OK, I was wondering why there was so many garda cars rushing from raheny, then i stumbled on it.

    I was driving around Clontarf last night and as I heading up towards the Howth road on Vernon Ave just beside St. Pauls I saw a load of cops bombing it down the road, any idea where abouts on Vernon Ave it was?

    Can't seem to figure out how to link on google maps.

    Kincora RD, Vernon Ave Junction, where it say's 51 on the map. The car seems to have mounted the path and hit the lamp post.

    I seen where it happened today , I was walking by
    If you are coming from the insomnia coffee shop its straight up the road right before Nolans supermarket .

    All thats left of the lampost is a little bent stump about 3 feet of it , with yellow tape wrapped all around it
    Looked like a telephone cable got tore down from the lampost hitting it across the road

    The guards must have been tearing along thats a narrow road also.
