A cyclist has been killed in a crash in Ticknock, south Co Dublin.
Gardaí are investigating the incident that happened at about 2pm on Sunday on Ticknock Road, an area popular with mountain and road cyclists. There was no other car or vehicle involved.
The cyclist, a man in his 60s, was taken to St Vincent’s University Hospital, Dublin, where he was pronounced dead. A postmortem will be done at a later date.
The scene on Ticknock Road has been examined, and the road has reopened to traffic. The road leads to a popular mountain biking trail with views over Dublin.
