Besides branding the three lorry drivers dumb, Ireland’s rail operator also said the truckers were guilty of reckless driving.
According to reports in the local media, nobody was injured in any of the accidents.
When asked by a Twitter user if there would be any consequences for the drivers involved, Iarnród Éireann responded:
“When a motorist is involved with striking a bridge/damaging a level crossing, all details that we have available are passed onto the Gardai and prosecuted under road traffic legislation, and we may also pursue the driver for the cost of the damage.”
