Gardai are continuing their investigation into a crash between a motorbike and a garda car that occurred in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
A motorcyclist who drove through a garda checkpoint was in collision with a Garda car on the new stretch of the ringroad at the Hebron Road roundabout.
Sergeant John Hanlon of Kilkenny Gardai said, “the motorcyclist failed to stop at a checkpoint. He continued up the road where he subsequently collided with one of our cars that had been informed of the incident. The driver incurred minor injuries.”
The road was closed to traffic until around lunchtime yesterday (Wednesday ), for a Gardai examination.
“There will be pictures taken of the scene as is normal when a Garda car has been involved in an incident such as this,” concluded Sergeant Hanlon.
