Gardaí appeal for witnesses to serious road accident in Virginia

Gardaí want to hear from anyone who witnessed a collision near Virginia on Sunday in which a man was seriously injured.

The collision between a car and a motorbike happened at approximately 6:40pm yesterday (Sunday) on the R194 road on the outskirts of Virginia.

The motorcyclist had to be airlifted to the Mater Hospital where he is being treated for "Serious" injuries.

The male driver of the car and his female passenger were unhurt.

The R194 was closed for a Garda examination but has since re-opened.

Also, the TFI Local Link service 186 which could not stop at St. Clare's College this morning is now back to normal and "making all stops".

Now, investigating gardaí want to hear from anyone who may have camera footage, including dash-cam, from the area at the time to make it available to them.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Bailieborough Garda Station on (042) 9694570, the Garda Confidential Line at 1800 666 111, or any Garda station.
