Pensioner's death prompts plea over truck safety

Extra safety mirrors should be made compulsory on all trucks after an 80-year-old pedestrian was run over by a lorry on Dublin’s quays, a jury recommended tonight.

The inquest into the death of William Keating, from Kylemore Road, Ballyfermot in Dublin 10, heard in the past year five pedestrians and cyclists met their deaths in the Dublin north central area after truck drivers failed to see them.
