A tragic fatal road collision in Dublin, Republic of Ireland, has claimed the life of a woman in her early to mid-20s, after she was struck by a car late Saturday night.
Irish national police, known locally as Gardaí, confirmed that emergency responders were dispatched to the scene at approximately 23:50 local time. The crash took place on the N11 Bray Road in the Loughlinstown district of the city, where the pedestrian was hit by the moving vehicle.
First responders pronounced the young woman dead at the site of the incident, moments after the collision occurred.
In line with standard protocol for fatal road incidents, the office of the coroner has been formally notified of the death. The entire crash site has been cordoned off and preserved to allow forensic experts from Gardaí’s Collision Investigation unit to conduct a full technical examination to determine the exact cause and circumstances of the crash.
To accommodate the ongoing investigation, local traffic management teams have put in place temporary diversions to redirect vehicles away from the affected stretch of road.
Gardaí have now issued a public appeal for any members of the public who may have witnessed the collision, or who have dashcam footage from the area around the time of the incident, to come forward with information that could assist the investigation.
