Cyclist (60s) dies following crash involving car on busy road as gardaí issue appeal

A male cyclist in his 60s has died following a crash between a bicycle and a car in Dublin on Monday evening.

Gardaí and emergency services responded to a collision on the R139 in Dublin 17 involving a bicycle and a car shortly after 8pm.

The cyclist, a man in his 60s, was pronounced dead at the scene a short time later.

A technical examination of the scene was carried out by Garda Forensic Collision Investigators and traffic diversions have since been lifted. The Coroner has been notified and the deceased has been transported to the Dublin City Mortuary, where a post-mortem examination will be arranged.

Gardaí are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed the incident to come forward.

Road users who were in the area between 7:30pm and 8:15pm and may have camera footage, including dash-cam recordings, are asked to make it available to investigating Gardaí.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Coolock Garda Station at 01 666 4200, the Garda Confidential Line at 1800 666 111, or any Garda Station.
