One person commented: "Hope they're OK" while another comment simply read "ouch!"
While another said: “Wall has probably been there since the Stone Age and your man after wrecking it.”
It was an action-packed day for the car rally, which went off to a rocky start on Sunday with one stage being cancelled due to the frost making unsafe conditions.
Meanwhile, the end of the rally saw the winner of the Galway International Car Rally 2023 announced as Meirion Evans and Jonathan Jackson.
The annual Galway rally has been taking place since 1971, 11 years after the foundation of the Galway Motor Club.
2023 marked the 52nd anniversary of the event which sees thousands flock to Galway every year.
The two-day, fifteen-stage event had just short of 240km of competitive driving on closed road stages around the town of Loughrea, where there were diversions in place.
