LUAS tram crashes into Dublin bus

LUAS Bus Crash 1 350

I was in O’Connell Street in Dublin yesterday when a LUAS tram crashed into the side of a double-decker bus.

These two photos show the aftermath of the collision. The second is a close-up of the cabin of the LUAS tram, which has smashed through the side of the bus and is literally inside it.

It shows how flimsy the side of a bus is when it is hit head-on by another vehicle, and how important road safety is. Three people were seriously injured in the crash, and are now in hospital.
