Motorcyclist dies following fatal traffic collision in Galway

A man has died in a motorbike crash in Co Galway.

Gardai were at the scene of a fatal road traffic collision that occurred on the R336 between Inverin and Spiddal in the county last night, Saturday, April 24.

The incident occurred shortly after 8pm where a motorcycle and a car collided.

The driver of the motorcycle, a man aged in his 30s, was pronounced dead at the scene.

His body has since been moved to Galway University Hospital, where a post-mortem is due to take place at a later date.

The occupants of the car, a male and female in their 20s, were taken to Galway University Hospital as a precaution.

The scene is currently preserved for a technical exam by Garda Forensic Collision Investigators. The road is closed and local diversions are in place.

Gardaí are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed this incident to come forward.

Any road users who were travelling on the R336, between Inverin and Spiddal, from 7:30pm - 8:30pm this evening, who may have camera footage (including dashcam), is asked to make it available to Gardaí.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact Salthill Garda Station on 091 514 720, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any Garda station.
