Kildare mum appeals for witnesses to Curragh near-miss that left kids shaken

A Co Kildare mother-of-two is looking for witnesses to a near-miss accident involving her Mazda 6 car and another vehicle in the Curragh today.

The incident happened on the R413 road near Donnelly's Hollow at 2.50pm.

A black-coloured car nearly crashed straight into the side of the woman's wine-coloured Mazda 6 car.

The Mazda was forced off the road into a raveen, damaging the side of the car.

There were two children under 3 in the car at the time.

The incident happened coming up towards the slight bend in the road near Scoil Bhride.

The female motorist who contacted KildareNow said: "No one was injured but the children were left badly shaken."

She added: "The car stopped at the top of the hill and the driver looked back. They put their hands up to their mouth and drove on."

Gardai have been notified and are investigating.
