Holly Carpenter was in "shock" after being involved in a car crash in Dublin city centre this week.
The 28-year-old said she was on Ormond Quay at a red light when someone drove up the bus lane and smashed into the side of her car.
Carpenter said the car then left the scene - leaving her with over €600 in damages.
She said: "I was just sitting in my car at Ormond Quay, waiting at a red light when a car came out of nowhere and crashed into the side of my car.
"Luckily I was on my own and there was no-one on the passenger side."
She said: "They just drove away, they were going so fast."
"I have no wing mirror on my car now so I haven't been able to drive it all this week.
"I'm actually fine, it was just a shock. It could have been worse - but what an a*****e."
The influencer recently revealed she is happier now in her skin compared to when she won Miss Ireland when she was 20.
She told RSVP Live: "The biggest thing that changed for me was accepting that people's perception of me was going to be so different."
“Walking into a room, I’d feel intimidated if people thought ‘Oh, she’s Miss Ireland, she probably thinks she’s great.’
“There was pressure but I think learning from [being Miss Ireland] at a young age and having people around me like my mum and my friends to keep me grounded really helped.
“I’m really excited for my 30s as well. Any woman I talk to who is a bit older than me says when you’re in your 30s you’re even more secure and have a better view on things."
