The collision between a lorry and a car took place shortly after 9pm on Saturday, July 6, 2024
The Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission (GSOC) are investigating a road traffic collision which took place in Ballyhea, Charleville, Cork.
The collision between a lorry and a car took place shortly after 9pm on Saturday, July 6, 2024.
The driver of the car, a male in his 50s who is understood to be a member of An Garda Síochána, was taken from the scene to Cork University Hospital with "serious injuries."
The referral to the Ombudsman was made by a Garda Superintendent under section 102(1) of the Garda Síochána Act, 2005.
This section provides the referral of "any matter that appears…to indicate that the conduct of a member of the Garda Síochána may have resulted in the death of, or serious harm to, a person."
The matter is now under examination by GSOC.
His condition is understood to be stable and the driver of the lorry did not require immediate medical treatment.
Anyone who witnessed the incident or has dashcam video footage from the area at the time is asked to contact GSOC at 0818 600 800 or info@gsoc.ie.
