GARDAÍ this Monday morning appealed for witnesses to a hit and run in Limerick City in which the driver of an e-scooter was left injured on a road after being struck from behind by a car.
A Garda spokesman explained that the incident took place when the car struck the e-scooter on the Corbally Road at around 6pm last Friday (December 6).
“Both the car and the e-scooter were travelling in the Corbally Road towards the city centre. The car rear-ended the e-scooter and knocked the driver off,” the Garda spokesman said.
“This occurred at the traffic lights at the intersection of the Mill Road.
“The driver of the car stopped and spoke to the other driver for a few minutes. Then he drove off. No details were exchanged.”
Gardaí said the driver of the e-scooter suffered “head and neck injuries” and was taken to University Hospital Limerick by ambulance following the road crash.
“We are appealing for any witnesses to come forward, especially if one has dash-cam footage of the collision. We don’t know what type of car was involved in the collision,” the spokesman said in an appeal to the public.
Witnesses to the collision or anyone with video or dash-cam footage is asked to contact investigating Gardaí at Mayorstone Park Garda Station on 061 456 980.
