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.
Gardaí are appealing for any witnesses. In particular, they have urged any road users who may have camera footage – including dashcam – and were travelling in the Ticknock Road area between 1.45pm and 2pm to make this footage available.
Anyone with any information is asked to contact Blackrock Garda station on 01 666 5200, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any Garda station.
