A Dublin Bus driver escaped injury after his vehicle collided with a hoarding surrounding a building site on College Green for the new £30 million hotel.

The incident occurred early last night, when an Imp bus hit part of the hoarding, which collapsed on the vehicle and perforated the front windscreen. There were no passengers on the bus, and no other vehicle was involved, a Dublin Bus spokesman confirmed.
