Woman, 20s, killed in early morning crash in Dublin
Gardaí say the road remains closed while forensic investigators examine the scene and appeal for dash-cam footage after the woman’s death.
A woman in her 20s died in a single-vehicle collision in Ballycoolin, Dublin 15, early Wednesday morning. Gardaí responded to the crash between the Snugborough Road and Cappagh Road roundabouts shortly before 12.30am.
The collision occurred four hours after a fatal hit-and-run in Kells, Co Meath, involving a van that killed a teenage cyclist at approximately 8.05pm on Tuesday. Gardaí said the van failed to remain at the scene.
Garda Forensic Collision Investigators are examining both scenes with roads closed and local diversions in place. The cyclist's body was conveyed to Our Lady's Hospital Navan, where a post-mortem will take place.
Gardaí are appealing for witnesses or anyone with dash-cam or mobile phone footage from either incident to come forward. Information can be provided to Blanchardstown Garda Station on 01 666 7000 or the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111.
The Ballycoolin collision scene remains closed as technical examination continues, with local traffic diversions in place. The coroner has been notified regarding the Dublin fatality, and a post-mortem examination will be conducted in due course.
