Car that hit ditch turned over before landing on wheels and drove on for a mile!

Gardaí at Navan are appealing for witnesses to a road traffic collision which occurred on Monday evening (14th October).

The silver Nissan Micra car flipped over at least once before landing on its wheels and continuing on for at least another mile.

At around 6.30pm the car collided with a ditch on the Slane/Navan Road at Blackcastle. The vehicle flipped over but landed back on its wheels and then continued to drive for approximately one mile before coming to a stop on the Inner Relief Road at Abbeylands near the junction at Reilly's shop.

The two occupants were removed to Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda, but their injuries were not life threatening.

The Gardai point out that there would have been a lot of traffic in the area at the time and anyone who has dashcam footage should contact Navan Garda Station on 046-9079930.

According to the gardai, the vehicle was badly damaged and would have been very noticible on the road.
