Veteran cyclist crushed by car

A man is in a serious but stable condition in hospital after he was crushed by a car yesterday, prior to the start of a cycling race in Currow, Co Kerry.

Laurent Dumoulin, from Lombardstown, Co Cork, was getting ready for the John Drumm Memorial Cup behind his car yesterday at around 10am when a car pulled out of an entrance and he was crushed between the two vehicles.

His own car was jerked forward, injuring his son Arnaud, who was due to ride in the U12 race at 11am, as well as an elderly man. All three were taken by ambulance to Tralee General Hospital but Mr Dumoulin senior was then airlifted to Cork University Hospital, such was the seriousness of his injuries.
