One man was rushed to hospital last night following a frightening single-car collision in Dublin City.
The car involved in the tip smashed into the David Marshall Hair Salon and Grafton Guesthouse buildings on South Great George's Street just before 11pm.
The driver managed to bypass two postboxes on the footpath to slam into the shop front with the back of the car.
The scene was closed off for a time last night with the man in his 40s taken to St James's Hospital.
He is still currently receiving treatment there but his condition is described as not life threatening.
