Witness Appeal - Fatal Traffic Incident Co. Kerry 27/3/2018

Gardaí in Listowel investigating the death of a male cyclist in his 60s are appealing for witnesses.

On Wednesday 27/3/2019 shortly after 5pm Gardaí and Emergency Services were called when a male cyclist was found lying on the road at Colkeragh on the R552 between Ballylongford and Listowel. The injured man removed by helicopter to University Hospital Limerick where he was later pronounced dead in the early hours of Thursday (28/3/2018). 

Following a post-mortem examination earlier today (29/3/2019) Gardaí investigating the circumstances of the man’s death have appealed for witnesses. Anyone with information is asked to contact Listowel Garda Station 068-50820 or the Garda Confidential Line 1800 666 111.

Note

Initial enquiries suggest the man may have fallen from his bicycle and sustained serious injuries. A hit and run is not suspected at this time.
