Just came across this

http://www.breakingnews.ie/ireland/biker-seriously-injured-in-kildare-crash-593022.html

A motorcyclist in his 30s has been seriously injured in a crash in Co. Kildare.

The 33-year-old man collided with a woman in her 20s, who was driving a car on the Clane to Celbridge Rd at about 7.15am this morning.

Both the man and the woman were brought to Naas General Hospital, where the woman's injuries are not life threatening.

The road has been closed to facilitate a forensic collision examination and diversions are in place.

AA Roadwatch is reporting long delays approaching Clane from Straffan, and approaching Straffan from Clane, Cellbridge and Maynooth.

Gardaí in Naas are appealing for witnesses.

As it does not mention my hopes are he will make it trough!

Be safe all!

Please God he makes it.

I attended a funeral of a mate killed on his bike down that way (Dagwelds Cross) only two weeks ago, same age too.

It really brings it home to you how vulnerable we are when you've attended a bikers funeral.

Please god the chap and the lady driver both make a swift and full recovery.

They always have the motorcyclist colliding with the car, not the other way around. That might have happened here, but I notice that in reports. As someone involved in an accident, where I was hit by a car, I sincerely hopes he gets well soon.

Why is it that so many cars colliding with motorcycles are driven by women in their 20s?

Happened to me, happened to several people I know, happens in lots of news reports.

I don't know a single biker hit by a 'more risky' male driver. How is this?

you are looking for something that you wont find... an answer
in general
car drivers (female) are not fully aware of "motorbikes":
1.speed
2.vulnerability
3.they are underestimating them as part of traffic.

they think that car is more important/bigger and has the right to turn first.
actualy in general they dont care.



on other hand i have to say that its not only "the young female population" that is "colliding". try to go for spin in the evening hour with the ... taxi drivers in dublin city. its a reall challenge.

anyway. lets try to be more carefull first

The breaking news link says he collided with a van, whereas the first link says car.

Also says the Gardai are appealing for witnesses. I wonder did the car/van driver stick around?

Edit: just read first link again. Woman was brought to naas general after the accident.

They were two separate crashes, one was in the morning, the other evening time.
Rip to both riders.

I was hit by a male driving a car, totally his fault and I have had numerous close shaves with both males & females.

RIP to the two lads
