Gardaí have appealed for witnesses after a boy was seriously injured after a car collided with the child’s scooter in Limerick City yesterday evening.

The eight-year-old boy was travelling on a child’s scooter when the collision occurred.

He was taken to University Hospital Limerick where he is being treated for serious injuries, according to gardaí.

Appealing for witnesses, a Garda spokesman said: “Gardaí at Roxboro Rd are investigating a road traffic collision that occurred on Hyde Road, Co Limerick on the 15th August 2018.

“The collision, involving a car and young boy on a children's scooter occurred at approximately 6pm.

“The boy was brought to University Hospital Limerick with what is believed to be serious injuries.

The driver, a man in his 20s, was not injured during the incident.

The road was closed to facilitate Garda Forensic Collision Investigators but has since reopened.
