GARDAÍ are appealing for witness this Monday evening (April 21) after a motorcyclist was killed in a crash in a Limerick village.
The fatal crash took place at the intersection of the R521 and the R523 in Ardagh, County Limerick, and diversions are currently in place at the scene
The motorcyclist, a man aged in his 20s, was killed when his motorcycle collided with a car in the village shortly after 6pm this Monday evening.
Gardaí said that the man was pronounced dead at the scene, and his body has been removed to University Hospital Limerick for a post-mortem examination.
The driver of the car, a man, has been taken to University Hospital Kerry for what Gardaí have described as “non-life-threatening” injuries.
A Garda spokesman said that the intersection in Ardagh “will remain closed overnight for a technical examination by Garda Forensic Collision Investigators tomorrow (Tuesday) morning”.
“A number of diversions are currently in place on the R521 and R523 roads around Ardagh village with local access only. Motorists, especially those with heavy goods vehicles, are advised to take an alternative route where possible.”
Gardaí are appealing for any witnesses to the fatal crash to come forward.
“Any road users who may have camera footage (including dashcam) and were travelling in the area at the time are asked to make this footage available to investigating Gardaí,” the Garda spokesman said.
Anyone with any information is asked to contact Newcastle West Garda Station on 069 20650, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any Garda Station.
