    A novice driver was arrested in Galway after being caught driving the wrong way on the M6 and colliding with a taxi in the Bohermore area at around 12:30am on 1 December 2024. The driver got out of his small black car and apologised to taxi driver Peter Gibbons before fleeing the scene. Gardaí chased the vehicle, the driver failed to stop when prompted, and was arrested on the spot. He failed a breathalyser test at more than 10 times the legal limit and was conveyed to a Garda Station in Co. Galway. No injuries were reported by Gardaí, though Gibbons has experienced lower back pain since the incident.
