A sombre atmosphere has descended upon the community of Kinsalebeg following a fatal collision that occurred on the N25 yesterday evening, 20th September. Shortly before 8pm, emergency services were dispatched to the stretch of road between Youghal and Dungarvan, where a car and a bus had been involved in a serious impact. Despite the swift arrival of medical teams, the driver of the car, a man in his mid-sixties, was tragically pronounced dead at the scene.
While the loss of life has caused profound grief, authorities have confirmed that all passengers travelling on the bus were assessed by medical personnel on-site and sustained no serious injuries. The road remained closed for several hours yesterday to facilitate a thorough technical examination by Garda Forensic Collision Investigators, though the route has since been reopened to the public. The local Coroner has been notified, and a post-mortem examination is set to take place.
Gardaí are now urgently seeking the public's assistance to piece together the circumstances surrounding the tragedy. Investigators are particularly eager to speak with any road users who were travelling along the N25 between Grange and Pilltown Cross between 7:30pm and 8:00pm yesterday. Those who possess dash-cam footage or other relevant recordings are encouraged to share this material with the authorities. Information can be provided to Dungarvan Garda Station, the Garda Confidential Line, or any local station.
