Gardaí are investigating a hit-and-run road traffic collision in which a woman was knocked over and seriously injured by a driver on an electronic scrambler.
The female pedestrian, aged in her 60s, was struck by the bike as she crossed the road at Gardiner Street on Thursday at approximately 7.30pm.
The woman was conveyed to the Mater Misericordiae Hospital, and later transferred to Beaumont Hospital, for treatment of serious injuries.
The road was closed for technical examination, and has since reopened.
