A Dublin Bus driver and cyclist are in hospital after the driver suffered a heart attack while travelling through Dublin’s city centre on Monday morning. The number 16 Dublin Bus was involved in a “minor collision” with a cyclist at around 7.40am on Monday after the driver suffered a heart attack while travelling down Westmoreland Street. The male driver, who is in his 50s, was taken by ambulance to the Mater Hospital.
