...I'm sorry to disrupt you while you're reading this article, but without messages like this, IrishCycle.com's reader-funded journalism won't survive. With nearly 1/2 million views and 300k readers so-far this year, it's not just people who are dedicated to cycling that this website reaches. However, the number of subscribers is around 0.6% of readers. While having a large gap between readers/subscribers is standard for non-paywall reader-supported journalism, IrishCycle's journalism needs more support. Don't delay, support monthly or yearly today. Now, back to the article...

Celine Ross at the Garda press office said: “Gardaí and emergency services attended a road traffic collision at Moyne, Thurles, Tipperary. The incident involving a jeep and two youths on a pedal cycle, occurred on the 19th August 2019 at approximately 5.50pm.

She added: “A 6-year-old male was taken to Clonmel Hospital in a stable condition and a 10-year-old male was airlifted to Temple St with serious but non-life threatening injuries.”

Local media website tipperarylive.ie reported: “It is believed that they were on their bicycles and came out of a driveway and were hit by a car being driven by a local woman.


...That's the end of the article. Keep scrolling if you want to the comments, but IrishCycle.com *NEEDS* readers like you to keep it that way. It only requires a small percentage of readers to give a bit each month or every year to keep IrishCycle.com's journalism open to all. Thank you.
