Another accident around Blackhall Place, I believe the one on Monday was in near enough the same spot. I'm assuming the road conditions due to the weather are playing a part there.

I suspect a lot of it is people being lazy about stopping at the stop line and just drifting forward.

Luas services on the red line were disrupted yesterday following a collision involving a car and a tram in Dublin.

The incident occurred at Blackhall Place shortly before 10am. A spokeswoman for Luas operator Veolia Transport said the collision was weather related and a car rolled into the approaching tram.

She said services were only disrupted for about 15 minutes and that trams had to run in two loops while the incident was dealt with: one between the Tallaght and Blackhorse stops and another between the Smithfield and Point Depot stops.

The tram driver, a passenger and the motorist were taken to hospital for precautionary reasons but did not sustain serious injuries. It was the second collision involving a tram and a car at Blackhall Place in the last four days.
