The incident occurred on Monday morning.
A Red Line Luas collided with a truck in the Smithfield area of Dublin on Monday morning (30 March). The driver of the tram, a male whose age is currently unknown, was taken to the Mater Misericordiae University Hospital with what is believed to be non-serious injuries. No other injuries were reported. Traffic diversions are in place for the next number of hours as the Luas has been pushed off track and will take some time to repair.
