Several people are understood to have been seriously injured after a double-decker bus drove down a pedestrianised street and crashed in Dublin city.
Emergency services have rushed to the scene of the incident, which occurred when a Bus Éireann double-decker bus was travelling on Talbot Street at around 12.30pm to take a left onto the one-way system on Marlborough Street. However, pictures suggest the bus careered across the road and onto a pedestrianised area on North Earl Street. A number of people were reportedly hit by the bus, and it is understood that at least one person was also trapped under the bus. Several people, including the driver, have been taken to hospital.
A spokesperson for Bus Eireann told Dublin Live: "Bus Éireann can confirm that this afternoon, 5 February, one of our vehicles was involved in an incident in the Talbot Street/North Earl Street area of Dublin city. The vehicle was not in service at the time of the incident.
"Emergency services and Bus Éireann personnel attended the scene. Bus Éireann is offering its full support to the relevant authorities and will provide any additional assistance required.
