Horses escape injury from crash

THERE was a very lucky escape for both people and horses after a road crash between a cargo lorry and a horse lorry closed the N24 in Co Tipperary, last weekend.

In a near miracle escape, there were no life-threatening injuries sustained for the drivers, while four horses being transported in one of the lorries also escaped serious injured.

The crash occurred last Sunday evening and closed part of the N24 for some hours. One of the cabs was crushed and debris littered the road. Gardai diverted traffic from Clonmel at Barne/Poulmucka while Tipperary traffic was diverted in Cahir.
