Biker, involved in an accident causing a garda's death, succumbs to injuries in medical facility.
A biker involved in the fateful crash that took the life of Garda Kevin Flatley last month has breathed his last in the hospital. The tragic event unfolded at a speed checkpoint on the R132, the old Swords to Balbriggan Road, in Lissenhall on May 11.
Old man Flatley, a member of the Roads Policing Unit, was wielding a speed gun, registering a motorcyclist surpassing the speed limit and attempting to hail him down. The motorcyclist, a man in his 30s, recently succumbed to his injuries at Beaumont Hospital.
