THREE MEN WERE brought to the Mater Hospital following a collision involving a van and a Garda vehicle in Dublin’s Phibsborough area early this morning.
The incident involved a white Peugeot van and an official Garda car. It took place at Doyle’s Corner on the North Circular Road, in the middle of the northside neighbourhood, at around 2am.
An eyewitness who happened upon the scene said there was a considerable amount of debris scattered across the road in the aftermath of the crash.
A Garda spokesperson said: “Three males were brought to the Mater Hospital as a precaution. Investigations are ongoing.”

An official Garda Car !!!! ….. Is there an unofficial Garda car ???
@JG: Branch car, that is not marked as a Garda car
@Sean: That would be unmarked garda car Sean but deffo official.
@JG: maybe the cars that the garda were driving during the lockdown would not be classified as official , as in they were rented cars with a cards sticker on the side?
At another Garda traffic accident(Malahide rd) the innocent write-off driver(5 airbags) was asked to make their own way home by Gardai.
No doubt the Garda car will have Dash Cam recording so it will be a simple matter to find out the circumstances which caused the accident? Oh wait, they don’t have Dash Cams in Garda Cars! So why then do the Gardai expect other road vehicles to have them? That might explain why the usual request for Dash Cam footage wasn’t announced!
