    Isn't the Garda station fully surrounded by a wall? How did the cars even get close enough to the station?

    What sort of a tool overtakes, at speed, on Patrick street, just before a pedestrian crossing and a roundabout where they could easily have met a car head on coming from Kilbride?! They could have killed someone. :rolleyes: They looked like they were in a hurry to get away from somewhere, or get to somewhere. ;)

    The person in the silver car must have gotten some shock! :eek: Driving along minding their own business, then wham!

    What I can't understand is HOW on earth you'd manage to somehow crash and actually crash with such precision that you fly through a pedestrian entrance. Seriously what was the chance of that Happening?

    Did you look at the footage on the facebook page i linked to? Shows exactly what happened.

    But yeah, pretty precise alright! If you are gonna cause an accident, why not make it easy for the cops and crash right into their front door! :p Bet it was the fastest they ever got to an accident scene! :D:D

    Hope that guy who shared the video doesnt get in any trouble with the company for releasing it! :confused:

    ah, i think he might be the owner, and it seems to be private cctv from their shop on Patrick St. Fair play to him for sharing!

    Cant view the video too well as our broadband is crap.

    But from what I could see it appears that the other car (BMW?) was going too fast to make a right turn anyway. If the Toyota hadnt been there would'nt he/she have ended up in the front door of the Garda Station anyway ? And if so.....

    Looked like he was aiming to hit the barracks anyway even before the other car appeared.

    Looks like he picked up a fair bit of speed on the way to the Garda station. Hope the driver of the speeding car gets put away for a spell, and none of the usual "from a bad home"/"suspended sentence" crap.

    Looks like it could be Gamestop? Could be wrong though.

    Exactly what I thought. The Toyota was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
    That dick in the BMW should be off the road for a long time for that....
