Motorists and pedestrians
had a lucky escape in the North East Cork Town of Fermoy this morning after a rigid
truck carrying building rubble overturned on the approach to the town centre.
The incident occurred around
8-15am when the truck tipped over on its side approaching MacCurtain Street
while making its way down a steep decline from on the Cork Road.
The building materials which
the truck was carrying spilt onto the footpath, which would have been a hive of
activity in the minutes that followed as pupils would have made their way to
two nearby schools, Gaelscoil de hÍde and Bishop Murphy Memorial National
School.
No serious injuries were
reported as a result of the accident, but the driver of the truck was treated
for shock.
The cause for the truck
turning over on its side is not currently known, but Gardai in the town are
carrying out and investigation.
