THREE PEOPLE were taken to hospital yesterday after a crash involving a car and a Luas tram in Dublin city centre.
The incident happened on the Luas red line, which runs from the city centre to Tallaght, at about 1.30pm. The car and tram crashed at the junction of Blackhall Place and Benburb Street.
A Luas spokeswoman said the car hit the front of the tram. The tram driver, a passenger and the motorist were taken to hospital for precautionary reasons but did not sustain serious injuries, she said.
Luas services on the line were curtailed for about 40 minutes.
The junction has been the site of several collisions since the trams started running in 2004. Two crashes occurred within a month of each other that year, with seven people hospitalised in total.
