Six people were hospitalised last night after a serious two-car collision in North Dublin. 

One person was “trapped” in a car and had to be cut out by firefighters at the scene, according to Independent.ie. 

The incident occurred on the Finglas Road and four ambulances and two Dublin Fire Brigade crews attended the scene.
