News Story
Last evening's accident in Great South Road, Greenlane, resulted in a car crashing into the shop-front of Abbey's restaurant, crushing a gas pipe on impact. Diners in the restaurant were startled by the crash, then the smell of gas. One of the wait-staff said she, too, was shocked and even though she did not know exactly what had happened, she shouted out to everyone "run, run, run!" and the patrons rapidly evacuated the premises. Firefighters ordered the busy Great South Road closed to traffic for fear of an explosion until they plugged the escaping gas. Our members assisted with road closures and the clean-up of debris. It was the 4th motor vehicle attended yesterday... one in Glenfield where a car and a van collided, resulted in a seriously injured victim being cut from the wreckage by firefighters.
