A tourist coach hit a number of parked cars on Merrion Square in Dublin this morning.
The incident happened shortly after 9am on the north side of the square.
The bus, which was carrying American, Australian and Canadian tourists, extensively damaged three parked cars.
The driver of the coach was taken to hospital. There are no reports of other injuries.
An American tourist, sitting at the back of the Globus coach, described what he saw, “I think our driver became faint, the bus started to drift to the left, ploughed into a number of parked cars and was stopped by a lamp post.”
Shortly after the collision, a second Globus Guided Tours couch arrived to take the stranded passengers on the rest of their tour.
Merrion Square remains open for traffic but there are delays in the area.
