Doctors are hopeful that a garda who lost a leg after being struck by a car while on duty is out of danger after scans indicated no brain injuries.
The community policing officer was rushed to hospital on Sunday evening after suffering severe leg injuries when his parked unmarked car was hit near Youghal, Co Cork while he helped a motorist whose vehicle had broken down.
Emergency services desperately worked at the scene to save the garda’s leg.
