Heartbroken daughter pays touching tribute to dad killed in horror crash in Co Dublin

A heartbroken daughter has paid a touching tribute to her dad who was killed in a horror collision in Dublin.

Jonathan Egan, 45, from Tyrrellstown, tragically passed away after his motorbike hit a car on the Old Navan Road last Wednesday.

The horrific incident took place at the entrance of Saddlers Estate with the road between there and Coolmine Cottages left closed for several hours while emergency services attended the scene, Dublin Live reports.

His daughter Katie paid a touching tribute on Facebook to her dad who she describes as the "funniest person and most caring father anyone could ask for".

She added: "Never thought I'd see the day that you would be gone from me life, think about you all the time.

"Never forget all our good memories together absolutely broken hearted. Love you so much dad gone but never forgotten."

She also shared a picture of Jonathan alongside the tribute with a love heart beside his face.

Gardai are appealing for witnesses who were in the area at the time especially a pedal cyclist who was also at the scene and witnessed the collision.

They can be contacted at Blanchardstown Garda Station 01 - 6667000, the Garda Confidential Line 1800 666 111 or any Garda Station.
