Truck kills man on Dublin's quays

A man in his early 20s has died after being struck by an articulated truck in Dublin city centre yesterday.

The accident happened at around 5.30pm on Essex Quay, close to where five people were killed by a runaway bus last month.

The dead man was apparently struck by the lorry while crossing the road.

Gardaí are withholding his name until all next of kin are informed.
