Gardai rush to crash as young driver and passengers have 'miraculous' escape

A group of young people had a "miraculous escape" after flipping their car in a serious crash in Tipperary.

Sharing the picture of the car wreckage on Facebook, they wrote: "The driver and passengers all of which were young were miraculously uninjured due to the wearing of their safety belts. New research from the RSA shows that 1 in 10 motorists admit to regularly texting while driving, with the risk of collision four times higher if using a handheld mobile phone while driving.

"If you are detected driving with a phone in your hand, or cradled in the crook of your neck, you face a fixed charged notice of €60 and 3 penalty points on your driving licence," said Inspector Ian O'Callaghan from the Cork West Divisional Roads Policing Unit.
