No reported injuries as tractor crashes into parked cars in South Tipperary Village.

There was a miraculous escape in the South Tipperary Village of Ardfinnan this morning as a tractor driven by a man in his 60’s drawing a trailer of grade went out of control as it passed through the Main Street of the Village about 10-30am crashing into a number of parked cars.

Nobody was in the cars at the time and no injuries were reported.

The driver of the Tractor was checked by members of the emergency services at the scene.

Reports suggest that the tractor driver was coming down a steep hill leading into the village and that brake failure is being investigated as the cause of the accident.

Locals who witnessed the accident said that the driver was “very shaken” after the incident.

The village was closed off for a while as the emergency services worked at the scene which was cleared later in the afternoon and an investigation into the incident by An Garda Síochána got under way.
