Amidst the lively streets of Ireland, a series of unexpected road accidents unfolded that has left the Emerald Isle in a state of shock. Two separate mishaps on the road have cast a somber shadow involving the death of a cyclist on a road in Dublin.

Besides, two lorries have been involved in a fatal collision in County Monaghan prompting further investigations. The back-to-back unfortunate incidents have raised concerns about vigilance and road safety. 

The death of a cyclist left the police pleading for witness

On 6 November, Sunday afternoon a tragedy struck in Dublin on the Dolphin’s Barn Bridge when a cyclist collided with a truck. Occurring at around 12:30 p.m., the accident left the cyclist with severe injuries. The Irish police known as Gardai have confirmed that the victim was rushed to St James’s Hospital.   

However, despite the diligent and swift efforts of the medical team, the cyclist could not be recovered and was pronounced dead after a short while at the hospital. Since there has been no witness of the accident, Gardai issued a heartfelt plea to the public as reported by the Irish Post, “Any road users who may have camera footage (including dash-cam) and were travelling in the Dolphin’s Barn Bridge area between 12:15 pm and 12:45 pm are asked to make this footage available to Gardaí.”

Acquiring crucial evidence will aid the investigation process that will further focus on the circumstances that eventually led to the tragic collision. This was not the end since the day took an even darker turn in the afternoon on the same day.

The accident spree continued as another road accident took place between Cootehill and Rockcorry on the R188. Two lorries were involved in the accident in County Monaghan at around 4 p.m.. that claimed the life of one of the drivers who was in his 40s. Even though the other driver survived the accident without any injury, the man was pronounced dead at the scene.
