Car smashes into the front door of Trinity College in Dublin

A car has crashed into the front door of Dublin's Trinity College this morning.

Commuters were left spilling their morning coffee in a state of quiet, rubbernecking disbelief at the sight of one of the most recognisable arches in the city completely in bits.

A 68-year-old man was arrested at the scene. It's thought that the incident occurred some time around 6.30am.
