Investigation launched after a train collides with a car in Wexford

An investigation is underway after a train collided with a car in Wexford yesterday afternoon.

At 2:20pm a maintenance train was travelling along Wexford Quay.

Irish Rail says a car at the last minute drove into the yellow box and was struck by the train, which was doing 5 miles per hour, a limit that applies to all trains along the quay.

The line was closed for an hour - the car was damaged - but nobody was injured.
