Gardaí in Thurles are investigating a ‘Hit and Run’ Road Traffic Accident, which happened in the vicinity of Bowe’s Corner, latter situated west of Thurles town, leading unto Friar Street, yesterday evening, (Friday November 24th 2023).
The accident which involved a pedestrian saw the vehicle involved, failing to remain at the scene of the accident.
Locals in the area quickly gave the victim, understood to be male, assistance having summoned a paramedic, who quickly attended at the scene.
The present condition/injuries sustained by the victim are understood to be non life threatening.
The recent upgrading of this area, back in late 2022, at a cost of 1/2 a million Euro made available, has given cause to much discontent with bus and heavy goods vehicles, who find it almost impossible to manoeuvre within the confined space currently allotted.
Thurles Gardaí are now anxious to speak to any person who may have witnessed the accident or who may hold dash-cam footage, to contact them immediately, in strictest confidence on Tel No: 0504 25100 or contact the Garda Confidential Line Free-phone 1800 666 111.
