Two investigations are underway after a man in his 20s suffered serious injuries when he was struck by a car that was being pursued by gardaí in Limerick last night.

The car initially came to the attention of gardaí at the Roxboro Roundabout on the south of the city, and was then pursued by gardaí shortly before the collision, at Ballinacurra Road, an informed source said.
