Gardai are appealing for witnesses after a cyclist was seriously injured in a crash in County Wexford.
A van and a bike collided on the N25 at Holmestown at around a quarter to 6 yesterday evening.
As reported by the independent.ie, the cyclist, a local man aged 59, is reported to have collided with one of two vans that was pulled in on the hard shoulder of the road as he was cycling away from Wexford town.
He was thrown from the bicycle and suffered extremely serious injuries. Passers-by pulled in to help and emergency services rushed to the scene.
There was a strong garda presence in addition to the National Ambulance Service, who worked on the man at the side of the road before bringing him to Wexford General Hospital where he was put on life support.
The road was closed off for a time yesterday evening and a garda forensic collision investigator carried out a full technical examination of the scene before it re-opened to traffic.
