Pensioner's road death prompts plea over pedestrian crossings

Dublin City Council was tonight urged to review the lay-out of pedestrian crossings along the quays in the capital after a 72-year-old woman died after being hit by a truck.

Kathleen Smith from St Benildus Villas, Navan, Co Meath, received serious head injuries on November 23, 2004 when she was struck by a truck as she crossed the road at Merchant’s Quay after a church service.
