Tree falls on van at Murntown

By Dan Walsh

This morning a driver had a lucky escape when a tree fell from a ditch onto the commercial vehicle he was driving at Murntown in south Wexford in windy conditions during Storm Eunice.

Emergency services were quickly on the scene, but it took almost an hour to free the man who was trapped in his vehicle.

He was treated at the scene by paramedics before taken to Wexford General Hospital for further treatment for his injuries which are described as “not life -threatening.”
