    Gardaí have appealed for witnesses to a crash in which a cyclist was killed on Tuesday.

    The cyclist, in his early 40s, was fatally injured in a collision with a truck at Newpark Drive, Kilkenny, at about 5.35pm.

    The man whose name has not been released was taken to St Luke’s General Hospital but was pronounced dead a short time later. The driver of the truck was uninjured.

    A stretch of road was closed for a examination but has since reopened.

    Gardaí have asked for anyone who witnessed theincident to contact Kilkenny Garda station on 056-777 5000, the Garda confidential line on 1800 666 111 or any Garda station.


    RIP :(

    RIP - More cyclists so is it "safe" to assume that this will become more regular?

    Scares the SH99te9 out of me tbh, seem to subconsciously now go on the turbo more with that nagging doubt in my head.

    Condolences to the family.

    (Strange how some cases make the headlines and others hardly get mentioned.)

    Heard this morning too. RIP! I thought of the poor guy and his family later today. We take so much for granted when we cycle.
