PIC: This car in Wexford was in some state after it collided with a cow

Thankfully, the driver escaped uninjured.

Remember the car that Ted and Dougal won in the raffle in Father Ted?

Remember what it looked like after Ted’s ill-advised attempt to fix it?

That’s an image that may well spring to mind when you catch sight of a car in New Ross in Wexford that was involved in a collision with a cow recently.

An Garda Síochána posted an image of the car on Twitter on Wednesday, reporting that the driver escaped unharmed despite significant damage having been caused to the car they were driving.

Always expect the unexpected…
