It has not been the best few days for drivers in Galway

There was carnage on our roads last week as not one but two serious driving incidents took place across Galway.

In Athenry, a car ploughed into the front of the shopping centre at Tesco on Tuesday evening.

Local gardai and ambulance were called to the scene shortly after 5pm when a black golf drove head first into the store with the scene sealed off for sometime.

While on Sunday in the city, one driver on the wrong side of the road was just inches away from causing a serious accident.

In a video seen by Galway Live, the driver veers from the left hand side of Dyke Road onto the wrong side facing heavy traffic.

The driver manages to serve the car back onto the correct side of the road again avoiding a head-on collision with an oncoming car with less than a second to spare.

Thankfully nobody was seriously injured in either incident.
