Motorist 'almost killed' after car drives down wrong side of Irish motorway as gardai investigate

A motorist has claimed he was 'almost killed' when a car driving in the wrong direction on the motorway suddenly appeared in front of him.

He was driving in the right-hand 'fast' lane on the M3 motorway in Meath when an oncoming car approached him head on.

He was unable to move into the left-hand lane as the car came straight towards him because there was a truck in the lane next to him. Luckily, the quick-thinking driver was able to swerve right as there was a 'hard shoulder' space that opened up next to the concrete barrier to his right.
