Traffic accidents at Dublin’s Robert Emmet Bridge have increased by over 800% since the start of the week according to the office of the traffic commissar (OTC). Since the 6th of this month over 14 vehicles have lost control and plunged in to the water where the bridge crosses the grand canal linking Upper Clanbrassil Street and Harolds Cross Road. Miraculously; the phenomena has not claimed any human life and only minor injuries have been reported. The accidents were all caused when drivers became distracted by a visually striking art installation showing in the top storey windows of the Portobello Wharf apartment building. For legal reasons we are not at liberty to disclose the name of the artist responsible for the distraction.
