Two Dead in Separate Horrific Crashes in Louth and Limerick
Pedestrian Killed in Hit-and-Run on Dublin Road, Limerick
A man lost his life after being hit by two cars in Castletroy, Co Limerick, last night. The crash happened around 9.50pm on Dublin Road. Shockingly, one of the drivers fled the scene, leaving chaos behind.
The pedestrian was rushed to University Hospital Limerick, but doctors couldn’t save him. A man in his 40s driving one of the cars and a female passenger were both wounded, though the injuries aren’t believed to be life-threatening. They were also taken to hospital.
