It appears the assistance of gardai was not required as a garda spokesperson said they hadn't received any reports "at this time".

A photo of the stricken vehicle has been widely shared on social media. There were minor traffic delays as the digger was being removed from the site of the collision.

A follow-up video of the badly damaged digger was also "forwarded many times". Due to its size and weight it had to be both pulled and pushed by two JCBs.
