A 40-year-old man who was cycling in north Co Dublin has been left with “life-threatening injuries” after a collision between a driver of a Toyota van and two men on bicycles on the former N1 north of Swords.
In a statement issued just after 6pm Gardai at Swords said that they are seeking witnesses to the collision which happened at approximately 12.38 today. The condition of the man seriously injured was still described as “critical”.
