Road victim’s dad dies in crash

A man who died in a road accident yesterday morning had lost a young son in another road crash involving a former Irish rugby star.

The victim of yesterday’s accident in Co Limerick was named locally as James Walsh, 53, who was living in the Kilmallock area.

Mr Walsh’s son, Kevin, aged 16, was killed in 2006, when a parked car in which he was a backseat passenger was hit from behind by former Irish and Munster rugby player Eddie Halvey, in 2006.
