The collision occurred very close to the scene of a fatal scrambler incident that claimed the life of 16-year-old Grace Lynch last month.

Earlier on Tuesday, Grace’s parents, Siobhán and Martin Lynch, met Minister for Transport Darragh O’Brien and Minister of State for Road Safety Seán Canney to discuss the Government’s plan to prohibit the use of scramblers in public through what she has termed ‘Grace’s Law’.

Following the meeting, O’Brien confirmed the regulations should be introduced within “a matter of weeks”.
