VIDEO: Car smashes into house in busy Navan housing estate

A MAN was arrested yesterday following an incident in which a car crashed into a house in Dunville, Navan.

The single vehicle accident took place around 6pm yesterday.

The man, in his 40's, was taken to Connolly Hospital, Blanchardstown where he was treated for non life threatening injuries.

In the shocking incident the car was captured on CCTV footage turning a corner and crossing the road before colliding with a lampost and front of two houses. The incident has led to calls by Cllr Alan Lawes for speed ramps in the area.

"We are lucky that a child wasn't killed," he said.

"There are a lot of children living in this area and there are problems with speeding traffic," he said.
