Train drove over two drunken men
Two men, who had a miraculous escape when a train drove over
them while they were lying drunk and asleep on railway tracks, were
warned yesterday that they were within a hair's breadth of going to
jail for their outrageous behaviour.
As he approached Shannonbridge he saw two bodies on the
tracks and despite pressing on the brakes and sounding the
emergency siren neither body moved.
The train passed over both men and when the driver stopped he
saw two heads underneath the train, the court heard. Miraculously,
neither of the defendants was injured and one of the men managed to
get out from under the train himself while the other man was pulled
out
Judge O'Donnell sentenced each of the accused to six months in
jail but agreed to suspend the sentences provided they each be of
good behaviour for two years. He also fined them €300
each
