VIDEO: “They tell you to expect everything when you’re driving but you don’t think a swan is going to hit your car”

This wasn’t in the theory test.

A Cork woman got a hell of a fright when she was on her way home from Mallow on Monday afternoon.

Mary Murphy was driving on the Cork-Limerick road in her Suzuki SX4 when a low-flying swan smashed into the windscreen of her car.

It’s been dubbed as “Swan Brake” and Mary explained the whole story on the news last night.
