A 48-year-old woman died following a collision with a Luas tram travelling on the Red Line in Dublin, an inquest has heard. The driver of the tram said lighting was bad in the area and he did not see the woman until it was too late. He heard a roar and looked in the rear view mirror as the train left the Fatima stop. The area, at the rear of St James’s Hospital is “particularly dark at night,” according to Garda Farrell. The train was travelling at 13km at the point of impact following a rapid deceleration from 20kmph, the court heard.
