GARDAÍ HAVE RENEWED their appeal in relation to a fatal road traffic collision which occurred in Arklow, Co Wicklow on Monday.
A pedestrian, a man in his 40s, was killed when he was struck by a car at about 2.20am.
Gardaí are looking to speak to anyone who was in the Coolgreaney Road or Ballyduff Road (also known as Johnstown Road) area of Arklow between 1.30am and 2.30am on Monday.
Speaking at Arklow Garda Station, Inspector Ronan Lawlor said: “This collision occurred on a wet night in the earlier hours of a bank holiday Monday.
“We would like to speak to anyone who was near Coolgreaney Road in the vicinity of St Saviour’s Church, Ballyraine Bridge or Ballyduff Road, which is the M11 underpass. We would particularly like to speak to anyone who may have a dash cam on their vehicle.”
Anyone who may have information is asked to contact Arklow Garda Station on 040 226320, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111 or any garda station.

Can we make dash cams compulsory? They would be very useful in all situations.
@Eamonn Sheen: true but looking for other peoples dash cams to see who they passed close to the time of an accident will be difficult given the memory gets over written every few hours and you’re not going to save it if you don’t think it’s relevant.
@Eamonn Sheen: That’s all we need. More big brother. No thank you. Dashcams are great but they shouldn’t be compulsory.
@Ger Healy: big brother? They would only be checked in the case of an insurance claim. Nobody is advocating a live feed back to some central hub. It would almost wipe out dodgy insurance claims overnight. If you don’t drive like an arse then why would you be against it?

Ireland needs legislation that ANYONE going in the dark time must be wearing some sort of reflector… reflectors only cost few euros, but it can save someone’s life…
