Gardaí appealing for witnesses following collision in Tuam yesterday

A male in his late teens was taken to University Hospital Galway to be treated for his injuries

GARDAÍ ATTENDED THE scene of a serious road traffic collision that occurred at Russellstown, Miltown, Tuam, Co. Galway, yesterday.

At approximately 5:30 pm yesterday evening, gardaí were alerted to a road traffic collision involving a bicycle and a truck. A male in his late teens (a cyclist) was taken to University Hospital Galway to be treated for his injuries. He has since been transferred to Beaumont Hospital where his condition is described as serious.

The road was closed to allow for a technical examination to be conducted by Forensic Collision Investigators. This has since concluded and the road has reopened.

Gardaí in Tuam are appealing for witnesses to come forward and to those with camera footage (including dash-cam) to make it available to them.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Tuam Garda Station on 093 708 40, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any Garda Station.

    Another soundbite by the transparent Taoiseach, he’s never been interested or has he ever done anything to help the people of the north ( don’t get me started on the sleaze Leo ) just another empty gestures. Insipid Coalition politicking….

    Drawing a false equivalency and playing the “both sides” angle.

    The DUP are refusing to form an executive. This is on the DUP, and that’s it. The DUP want Westminster to rule if they can’t hold the majority, and that needs to be called out.

    @Donnie Brasco: what I took from what he said, there was no both sides angle. DUP blocking NI executive. No one under any illusions otherwise.

    “It is to the detriment of the people of Northern Ireland that their Executive is not in place to take the decisions and provide the leadership that the North needs.”

    We have a government here in the south and they won’t make any decisions to help the people dealing with the number of crises we are experiencing.

    Focus on the Republic Mick and cut out your nonsense.

    Why do people in NI put up with the sheer lack of performance by their politicians including Sinn Feinn. Wake up and make it happen.

    @Appaddy: the same way we put up with the shower we have. For one, the Northern ministers can’t claim travel expenses seeing they don’t go to work. Not like the clowns we have who show up for work and charge the tax payer a fortune for same, but like the crowd up North they do nothing. This is typical Mehole try sorting out something he can’t but don’t dare sort out the problems he can

    It wouldn’t be FF if they didn’t get a diģ in against SF, Mr Martin hope you don’t mind me calling you Mr Martin, you didn’t earn the title to be called other than your name. SF pulling out was nothing compared to the DUP, SF pulled out because the DUP made a mess of the money for heat, or something like that. the DUP are just being childish because SF did better.Now what are you going to do about the DUP don’t forget you have a part to play and don’t be leaving it all for SF to sort out, you will be left in the back room.

    Pfft they are simply mirroring Sinn Fein when they were having a strop & they were blaming the DUP back then too they can’t win either way so guess they don’t care what Mr Martin has to say & back there the last time there was uproar at the suggestion that they cut their salaries off.

    Soon the new PM will call for fresh elections in the North and if the DUP gets the highest number of seats then the Executive can get back up and running..
    It’s that simple..

    More tripe from Fine Fail. The GFA allowed for this by allowing the mechanism DUP are using which is the same one SF used before. Just like everyone said back then, stop paying these idi0 ts and they’ll do what they’re supposed to.
