Cyclist (80s) dies in Dublin crash

A cyclist has died following a road crash in west Dublin. The incident took place on the Killeen Road in Ballyfermot shortly before 1pm on Monday, when a car and bicycle collided.

The cyclist, a man aged in his 80s, was later pronounced dead at the scene. His body was taken to Dublin City Morgue where a postmortem is set to take place.

The driver of the car was unharmed.

Diversions were in place for some time to allow for a technical examination by investigators. The road has now fully reopened.
