Gardaí are issuing a renewed appeal for witnesses following a serious road traffic collision in Clara, County Offaly, on Wednesday, 4th February 2026.
Shortly after 6:15pm, Gardaí and emergency services responded to a collision involving a car and two pedestrians on Tullamore Road, Clara.
One of the pedestrians, a female in her mid-teens, was treated at the scene and subsequently removed to CHI Crumlin for treatment of serious injuries.
The second pedestrian, a male also in his mid-teens, was brought to Midland Regional Hospital Tullamore. His injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
A male (aged in his 40's) arrested in connection with the incident has since been charged. As this is now before the courts, there will be no further comment.
Gardaí are appealing for witnesses to come forward. In particular, any road users or pedestrians who may have camera footage (including dash-cam or mobile phone footage) and were in the area of Tullamore Road, Frederick Street and Bridge Street, Clara, at the time of the collision are asked to make this footage available to investigating Gardaí.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Tullamore Garda Station on (057) 9327600, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any Garda station.
