Witnesses are being sought following an unusual road incident in Lahinch earlier this month.

Ennistymon gardaí are asking members of the public for their assistance with regard to a road traffic collision which occurred at an EV charging point on the outskirts of the town.

"The incident happened by the electric charging point at the Miltown Malbay Road car park in Lahinch on Saturday April 5, between 5pm and approximately 5.30pm," said crime prevention officer, Sergeant Catriona Holohan.

"The driver of an electric car, a blue Cupra Born estate, was charging at this charging point when a second vehicle collided with the Cupra Born car," she said confirming that nobody was injured.

Investigating gardaí believe the second vehicle involved in the collision was a red Nissan Leaf - also an electric car.
