A motorist had a lucky escape last evening after he accidentally drove into Eglinton canal.
The incident happened at around 7pm at the University Road bridge beside Galway Cathedral.
A motorist had a lucky escape this evening after his car ploughed through railings into the Eglinton Canal. He was uninjured.
Gardai believe the man made a wrong turn and went through railings on the bridge – which resulted in the car landing upside down into the water.
The man was taken from the water and it’s understood he did not sustain any serious injuries.
Emergency services attended the scene and the car was lifted from the water late last evening.
