Man (70s) dies following Mayo road crash

Gardaí are appealing for witnesses to the crash on the N5 on Saturday morning to come forward.

A MAN IN his 70s has died following a road crash in Mayo on Saturday morning.

Gardaí were called to the scene of the crash involving a truck and a car at around 9.45am on the N5 at Belleek, Castlebar.

The driver of the car – the man in his 70s – was taken by ambulance to Mayo University Hospital in a critical condition. 

He sadly passed away yesterday.

No other injuries were reported in the incident. 

Gardaí in Castlebar are appealing for any witnesses to come forward. 

They’re asking any road users who were travelling the road at the time who may have camera footage – including dash cam footage – to make it available to gardaí. 

Anyone with information is urged to contact Castlebar Garda Station on 094 903 8200, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111 or any garda station.

    oddly disguised advert/review. a good one though . but I think you have to add that Belkin and Dlink have had cameras like this out for years and they are half the price. its definitely neither new or ground breaking.

    So you buy the camera, it is your, but the footage belongs to Nest and you have to pay to replay it? Eh, let me think about this one for a while….

    I have two nest protects, and they are great. Considered getting this too but the monthly fee is excessive. It’s a bill I could do without.

    If you intended to be an embarrassing Grammar Nazi then this could be awkward, as NESTS fir alarm is called the protect. and its highly likely that is hats he has.

    Brian Donovan, can you connect as many cameras as you like to one wifi router or do you need several wifi routers

    Big Brother finds a home!!!!
    It is useful for security though.
    Gotcha! Little Timmy you grabbed a bun when my back was turned.
    Maybe the GAA could modify it, then each player could have one on his shirt with video and sound. Could be called the Foul and Feign System (FFS).

    There are less expensive versions of this that don’t have monthly fees. Are equipped with SD cards with full colour HD and night vision, and can be logged into from your smartphone. lidl and Aldi sell them every so often. They work through your wifi.
