Gardaí appeal for witnesses after man (21) dies in car crash

The incident took place near Moycullen at around 2am.

GARDAÍ HAVE APPEALED for witnesses after a man (21) died in a car crash overnight in Co Galway.

The incident happened shortly after 2.30am on the N59 in the townland of Corcullen near Moycullen.

The man was the sole occupant of the car and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Gardaí are appealing for witnesses to the crash or anyone with dashcam footage of the area between 2am and 2.30am to contact them on 091 514720 or 1800 6666.

The man’s body was removed to University Hospital Galway. A post mortem will take place in due course, gardaí said.

Diversions are in place while a forensic examination of the scene is carried out.

    Where’s the lad saying that seizures in Dublin are only reported?

    Fair play to the Gardaí.

    @John Mc Donagh: you’re dead right. Why can’t they simply be executed in the Garda station? The constitutional protections afforded to people are a disgrace. RIP IT UP

    @Simon Dottcom: That comment explains exactly what voting for SF means and why Ireland does not want a SF government. The IRA has Not gone away

    @John Byrne: You’re way off there mate! I’d much prefer the some lad in the boozer in Waterford tackling the Covid 19 crisis rather than Varadkar, a qualified doctor. The Sinners could should “Tiocfaidh ar la” at the virus and it would run like hell away and that’s why I vote Sinn Fein. VOTE SINN FEIN

    Cocaine only exists because people enjoy using it. The Beatles, Rolling Stones and Diego Maradona took it. I don’t see anything positive about this seizure.
