Gardai arrest learner driver after dangerous collision on major motorway

Gardai arrested a learner driver after they were involved in a collision on a major Irish motorway.

The driver was unaccompanied at the time of the smash, which saw them collide into a Road Work vehicle.

For those of you unaware, a Road Work vehicle is usually easy to spot thanks to a multitude of flashing lights and arrows indicating where the works are taking place.

Recently, work was being undertaken on the N7 - which connects Limerick with Dublin - when a van collided into the back of a Road Works vehicle.

The van's entire front bumper was ripped away, with both the bonnet and the windshield also smashed up as a result of the collision near Kill in Kildare.

Gardai attached to the Naas Roads Policing Unit quickly attended the scene, and arrested the unaccompanied learner driver after they were found to be over the legal limit for alcohol.

They now face a court date for drunk driving, while the van was also seized by officers following the collision.

It doesn't appear that anyone was hurt in the incident.
