a cyclist in his 40s was killed in a road traffic collision in Co Kerry.

The man died when he was struck by a car on a road leading to the Gap of Dunloe, near Beaufort outside Killarney.

The cyclist was pronounced dead at the scene.

I cycle this area a lot and that junction where it looks to have taken place is quite dangerous in my opinion, especially if you are coming from gap towards beafort.

But this person sounds like a local and on way to work so it cant be a mistake on cyclist not stopping .

Very sad .... lots of people out training for ring of Kerry at moment ...we've had a few fatalities the past few years around here with cyclists.

RIP
