  6. Walked by very soon after it happened. Small car with front impact, signpost flattened, not sure if a Luas was involved at all. Saw a fireman doing chest compressions through the crowd

  9. You’re probably reading Twitter anyway, but here’s one tweet from several minutes ago

    .@Luas out of action after Smithfield and pedestrian injured RT @DonohoeSaints horrible scenes at Jervis

  12. I walked past about an hour ago on lunch. There was a car involved and 2 people lying prone on the ground, one of whom was receiving “a lot” of attention from Gardai.

    The car involved came to a stop on the sidewalk and had a lot of damage to it’s front-end, am hoping whoever got hit is OK as judging by the damage to car it was a big hit.

    • When you went through the cross walk did you drop your hotdog in the trashcan too ?

      High five anyone

      knob

      • There’s always a few idiots out there!

        Randall, may I ask where you are from, North or South of the Liffey or outside of Dublin? People have their own dialect and to be honest what business it is of yours to make such stupid comments

        • You sound like great craic SomePeopleAreIgnorant, lets meet for a vegan falafel and poo poo other people bad grammar and syntax.

          • Sounds good, we can start with your spaces between the word ‘too’ and ‘?’ or maybe your lack of fullstops in sentences.

            I just find it annoying and narrow minded when people mock others use of words.

            And PS. I’m not mocking your use of the language, I’m simple stating facts!

            Either way, RIP to the poor woman who was killed, tragic.

    • Sounds bad.
      Witness accounts saying car “ploughed” into at least 5 people?? Then again some of that could be OMG-speak.
      Will wait for facts.
      Hope the injured are not seriously so.

  13. A woman is in a serious condition after a collision on Mary Street in Dublin city centre.

    An accident involving two cars and a pedestrian on the Red Luas line also means services are disrupted.

    The Gardaí have asked trams not to run between Smithfield and the city due to the incident.

    The company has said services are running between Saggart -Tallaght and Smithfield, and that Luas tickets are valid on Dublin Bus for the duration of the disruption.

        • Maybe I will, maybe not…. but this site is what it is and that is why people come here.

          To attempt a little whit. Some succeed, some fail, some are misplaced or inappropriate. Some are pure shite, of which I am guilty now and again.

          Some are regretted on ‘developing stories’ such as this. That’s just how it is. There is nothing malicious about it.

          Now, mind yourself when you step off that hobby horse, it’s a bit high for ya. That’s a good lad!

          • “Some are regretted on ‘developing stories’ such as this. That’s just how it is.” – No it’s juvenile and embarrassing.

            I cringe when reading these so-called attempts at whit. I generally avoid the comments on this site until I see a story like this, check if any links have been posted to a news source and straight away these lame comments stick out like a sore thumb.

            And enough with this sanctimonious crap, if you’re going to post something you admit can be “pure shite”, don’t be so defensive when someone calls you up on it.

  15. RTÉ News ‏@rtenews
    A female pedestrian has died following a collision with a car near the Jervis Luas stop in Dublin city centre

  17. I admit, my first thought when I saw the photo with all the police tape was “some junkie, no doubt”.

  18. I think it was fairly obvious to everyone from the original post that when a car hits 5 people there are bound to be serious injuries and possibly deaths.

    • Welcome to the internet. Let us show you around.

      Less of the sanctimonious high horsing please. It was not obvious from the outset what the outcome came to be. And you can be sure that everyone feels sympathy with that poor woman and her family.

      • I never said it was obvious what ‘the outcome came to be’. It was obvious what the possible outcomes were though. Serious injuries and or death are usually the outcome of a pedestrian impact with a car. Your moniker of Grumpyoldman doesn’t do your inate hostility and miserable nature justice. You should try using cunt instead

      • You’re right. Welcome to the Internet where sad people like you think that “satire” can be derived from a piece that even at first had photos of police cordons and ambulances.

        Sometimes it’s best to keep quiet.

        • It wasn’t “satire”. It was what we call ‘codology’. And nobody knew that anyone had been seriously injured, let alone killed.

          Could the sanctimonious assholes shut it.

          RIP to the poor woman who died, plus thoughts and prayers to her family and friends. None of them – including the poor woman herself – had the slightest idea that all this would happen today.

          • Call it whatever you want but it’s actually not that funny.

            “I walked past about an hour ago on lunch. There was a car involved and 2 people lying prone on the ground, one of whom was receiving “a lot” of attention from Gardai.”

            “They were lying prone on the ground, someone finally got to Terry !?!”

            Yeah that’s really hilarious. Cover it up by calling others sanctimonious.

          • Exactly. Before any of the comments were read, it was clear that this looked serious. Once there is an ambulance involved, somebody is having a bad day.

  20. Oh dear, this site really has hit the bottom and my comments are being deleted now for no apparent reason.

    Time to say bye bye to a bad habit and seek out better sites with signs of intelligence.

  21. this was my cousin, anyone with information please contact the Garda and report it
