I was there when the squad car arrived - at 8.35 or so. Looked like someone on the road with ambulance personnel attending to him/her. Lots of bystanders outside the church.

Dunno what's going on. Hope that nobody was seriously injured.

According to the Galway Independent facebook page:

Unconfirmed reports coming in that a woman knocked down in Knocknacarra this evening. Gardai have sealed off the area

https://www.facebook.com/galwayindependent

It says unconfirmed, but some people posted who seem to have witnessed the immediate aftermath.

This is getting way, way too frequent.

Have to agree here. It's unfair to reference any individual case because accidents happen even when you being as careful as can be but really everyone please make extra efforts to drive safely and slow down in populated areas. Only takes a second to destroy lives.

You do know that the :rolleyes: doesn't make you smarter, you do seem to use it in every single post you make!!

And no the OP would simply need to walk to the barrier of the incident and say what happened, as opposed to asking on here, the answer would be found much quicker. Don't post too much in this thread though softmee because you might get it closed on the rest of us .

Walked past it last night very shortly after it happened. To me it looked like a man lying on the road but it was dark and there were people knelt down attending to the person. There was a jeep there at that stage with blue lights on but i don't think it was guards or ambulance. There was a dog killed in the incident as it was lying by the church wall. Hopefully the person makes a full recovery.

I am not surprised in the slightest this has happened, that junction is an absolute death trap and it's one of many in the area.

According to the GI Facebook again, it was a man and he's been released from hospital. Not sure how reliable that is but it's good news if true.

In a lot of cases it's that people are concerned that someone they know has been killed or injured, rather than out-and-out nosiness..

And also a notice to motorists to avoid certain locations where roads have been closed. The obvious question to ask is why the road has been closed, no?

No your wrong, if someone had a concern they would ring the guards or the hospital, its just nosiness.

Yes much better to waste the time and resources of the emergency services than to ask a question on a regional forum:rolleyes:

Hopefully the injured party is OK

Since the man is apparently ok and OP question is answered I'll close this now.
