Appeal after cyclist found injured

Gardaí today appealed for witnesses to an accident in Dublin which left a cyclist with serious head injuries.

A passing garda patrol found the man, in his 40s, lying in the out-bound bus lane at the Chapelizod Bypass at about 6.30pm yesterday.

He had serious head injuries and was taken to Connolly Hospital, Blanchardstown.

“No witnesses have come forward and it is not clear at this stage if any other vehicle was involved,” a garda spokesman said today.

“This road would have been busy at that time and gardaí are appealing for any witnesses to contact Ballyfermot garda station.”
