Awful news that's a terrible junction at the min.RIP.

Effects

Would it be right to think that junction is fairly busy with construction traffic for the new hospital?

nannerby

Yes very busy.

magicbastarder

usual mod warning folks - please refrain from speculating as to the cause or possible blame for this incident.

Still waters

Rip, thoughts with cyclist and the truck driver

I must have missed that by about just 10 minutes on my walk to work this morning. It's not a big junction and traffic is light enough this week with the schools off.
RIP

RIP to the poor man

there but for the grace of God go I, went through that junction not too long before that. there's extra road works on the kilmainham side of the junction this week too, as well as the construction traffic for the hospital.

RIP to the poor man.

certainly need to be wary of construction sites, there is one on Haddington road at the moment that has caused me a headache or 2, you get trucks doing weird manoeuvres causing the traffic to be unpredictable

That's not the junction of Bulfin and the South Circular, it's the SC and Brookfield.

I pass through the Bulfin and SCC junction every am and this am at circa 8.40 the garda already had the SC going east closed.

Worth discussion but on a separate thread maybe.

Apparently someone in the Journal doesn't realise the South Circular Road goes from Camden Street to the Phoenix Park as their initial report just saying SC road means they might as well have just said southside of Dublin .

Effects

It was the Garda press office that released it as SCR and Bulfin road.
When I saw the image I thought they had it wrong as well.

Horrible news. RIP to the cyclist and thoughts are with the lorry driver. A reminder how it only take a second for tragedy to strike.

A vigil? Why? No point.

kevinmartind6

for cyclists , community, friends etc to express solidarity.

What a strange thing to say.

Vigils are generally 'pointless' Just a time for affected people to come together and find some solace in a sense of camaraderie, support and company.

RIP. Used to pass that junction on my old commute and very easy to get left hooked there. Vast majority of traffic is going straight on and right so you're really at the mercy of the exception using their indicators/mirrors.
