'Stolen car' causes significant damage in Newry
Newry & Armagh MP Mickey Brady said that it is a miracle that no one had been killed following the incident along the Armagh Road.
A car has caused severe damage to a number of houses in Newry after it lost control and crashed in Newry.
The incident happened along the Armagh Road on Sunday morning.
Newry & Armagh MP Mickey Brady, who lives close to where the incident happened, stated:
"I understand that a stolen car speeding along this road lost control and crashed into a taxi. The car ploughed into Walsh and fences before it came to a stop, resulting damage has left a scene of destruction. How no one has been killed is a miracle. The driver of the taxi in particular can count himself extremely fortunate".
His colleague Councillor Charlie Casey who also lives by and along with the MP visited the scene this morning said:
"Residents are in complete shock. There is a trail of debris. Whilst I understand the police are investigating the incident at present, I share the hope of all the community that those who have caused this will be apprehended and face the full rigours of the law"
