Passengers were left terrified when the 115 Dublin to Enfield bus left the road on the M4, near Junction 6. at approximately 5.50pm on April 30th.

Peak traffic congestion on the M4 meant some locals were stranded on a busy motorway for two hours after a bus left the road.

Bus Eireann has confirmed that investigations are continuing into how the bus carrying locals swerved onto a dual carriageway.
