Man and young boy rushed to hospital after sign tips over at festival in Bray

A man and young boy were rushed to hospital after a sign tipped over at the Wings Food Fest in Bray.

The incident happened at around 4pm this afternoon.

A garda spokesman said: "Gardaí and emergency services are currently dealing with an incident at Strand Road, Bray Co Wicklow this afternoon, Sunday July 21st 2019.

"It is understood that large signage fell on two persons (a male child & male adult).

"The child has been taken to Tallaght University Hospital and the male adult to St. Vincent’s University Hospital."

Virgin Media News journalist Paul Quinn said the high winds had been causing chaos at the event earlier in the day.

He said: "When I went in took the initial picture of the sign – we were there for an hour or two – but you could tell the weather was changing.

"The wind started to pick up and there were a few churros guys who were getting worried as their stand was rocking back and forth.

"There were a couple of different wing stands with just tents that were about to blow away – the people were holding onto them, the wind was that strong."
