Mother and baby injured in fatal motorbike accident

A MOTHER and her baby were in a serious condition last night following an horrific freak accident in which a motorcyclist was killed.

The young woman was walking along a footpath with her six-year-old son and pushing her 18-month- old baby in a pram when a riderless motorbike ploughed into them.

Gardaí believe the motorcyclist, Derek Delaney, fell off his bike on the Coolmine Road, west Dublin, after losing control. His bike then careered into the pedestrians at high speed.
