    Opinions. A lot of sympathy for the 80 year old driver who passed away.

    Was the 80 year old the guy driving the wrong way?

    Ugh

    No comment.
    Bad situation all round.

    Similar incident on the m8 about 2014 or 2015 at mitchelstown.

    Thoughts with the family and hope the other driver survives.

    Unfortunately I was a first responder at 2 similar incidents. Thoughts with those who have to attend the scene.

    Thankfully I'm not friends with anyone who would share that kind of thing.

    Awful thing to happen. Surely just a mistake considering the age rather than when people do it for a shorter distance. Glad I haven’t seen it.
