More bad news.

I passed the scene just over half an hour ago and the Gardaí and the truck were still there with a section of Templeville Road closed off.

I also hope the truck driver gets any help needed after such a shocking incident.

I pushed my bike past on my commute home as obviously the road was closed to traffic. Very shocking to see and something I'll remember it for a while. The police on the scene told me it looked bad and I could see why.

4th cyclist to be killed in the last 2 weeks. Serious questions now need to be asked about protecting cyclists and making cycling safe.

RIP and condolences to all that know and love her. I am just sick about this. I know a bit more about this than is published. (my brother was on the scene). I grew up here and hearing it just numbed me.

4 too many!

Awful news. RIP the cyclist and condolences to her family and friends.

And as others have said, these deaths are more than reason for proper cycling infrastructure.

Should the thread title be changed to reflect the fact that our sister of the road has died?

jive

RIP. Another tragic and unnecessary death.

Thoughts are with her family and also the driver who is also a victim here.

As much as i find the photo in the Indo tasteless (it shows the accident scene with the bike in place), the truck is actually in the on road cycle lane.

Aside from seeing the where the bike ended up and how terrible it must be for family to see such a picture, I also find it tasteless because it suggests the truck was in the cycle lane at the time of the accident which, without being there, we cannot be sure of at all.

For someone new to cycling and who lives nearby this sent shivers down my spine. So much sad news lately, maybe it's always like this and I wasn't aware...

Went past this on my way home last night. Looked extremely bad, truck was pulled on the road, guards everywhere! Made me feel fairly afraid cycling into work today.
