National: Gardaí seek witnesses to fatal collision after death of elderly pedestrian

Gardaí are appealing for witnesses to a fatal collision which resulted in the death of a male pedestrian in his early 80s. 

The collision occurred between the man and a HGV at Liberty Square in Thurles, Co Tipperary on Tuesday August 15 at approximately 2.45pm. 

The pedestrian was taken to Limerick University Hospital for treatment for serious injuries, but has since passed away. 

Gardaí are particularly appealing for any road users who may have camera footage (including dash-cam) who were travelling in the area between 2.30pm and 3.30pm to make this footage available to Gardaí. 

Anyone with any information is asked to contact Thurles Garda Station on 0504 25100, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any Garda Station.

Investigations are ongoing.
