Investigations after Gardaí injured in Limerick crash

Four people were taken to the Mid-Western Regional Hospital after the crash. Their injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.

TWO GARDAÍ WERE among four people injured in a crash in Limerick city this morning.

The Gardaí were travelling in one of two cars which were involved in the collision at the junction of Mallow Street and Catherine Street just after 7 o’clock this morning.

The force of the crash propelled one of the cars to the basement level of the row of houses on the street.

All four people – three women and one man – were taken to the Mid-Western Regional Hospital where their injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.

The matter has been referred to the Garda Ombudsman in accordance with section 102 of the Garda Siochana Act 2005 as part of standard procedure in any such incident involving Gardaí.

A spokesperson for the Garda Ombudsman said the matter is under examination.

Gardaí at Roxborough Road are also investigating the matter.

    Sad when anyone gets ill. I feel for this lady as she will stay focused on her job rather than her health. Hope she gets good support from her hubby she deserves at least that. Wishing her well
