snapper Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 (edited) to the trucker who hit bridge, failed to report it & left scene: We have your reg & company you drive for. Talk soon, lots to discuss. Irish Rail used Twitter this morning to warn a truck driver who hit a bridge in Dublin and failed to stop that they have his details. There are delays of up to 15 minutes on Dart services after the truck hit a bridge at Clontarf. A bridge inspection has taken place and services have resumed but Irish Rail warned of delays. http://www.irishtimes.com/news/ireland/irish-news/we-know-who-you-are-irish-rail-tweets-driver-who-hit-bridge-1.1599850 Edited November 19, 2013 by snapper Quote
