A boy, aged seven, is recovering in Cork University Hospital after a single-vehicle collision near Riverstick in Co Cork last night.
The boy, his father and a baby were all taken to CUH after their car struck a ditch on the Belgooly to Riverstick Road at around 6pm.
It was believed that a boy had been knocked down in the incident.
However, a garda spokesman confirmed this morning that the boy taken to hospital was one of three passengers who were in the car at the time.
