Gardaí make appeal for information after dangerous sulky race on N20 in Croom

Gardaí have appealed for information regarding a dangerous sulky race which caused traffic chaos on the N20 Limerick to Cork dual carriageway, last Sunday.

Video footage of two sulky racers surrounded by a large gathering of cars, vans, and trucks carrying trailers, spread out across the road in Croom, Co Limerick, was shared across social media platforms.

The footage shows motorists travelling towards the sulky group being forced to slow down and stop in the road as two sulkies and support vehicles thunder towards them.

Part of the sulky group can be seen travelling the wrong way towards oncoming traffic on one side of the roadway.
