We are currently at the scene of a serious road traffic collision on the junction of Terenure Cross, Terenure, Dublin 6W involving a bus and a pedestrian.

The first three months of 2026 were among the three safest first-three-month periods since records started being kept at the dawn of the Automobile Age, with only 42 fatalities from car crashes in New York City.

We are deeply saddened by this tragic crash, and our hearts are with the victim's loved ones during this incredibly difficult time. The circumstances of the collision are under investigation, and we are committed to fully understanding what happened and if additional steps can be taken to prevent future crashes.

The crash, involving a pedestrian and a car, occurred in the Tubrid More area of Ardfert in north Kerry on Monday evening (March 2) at approximately 9:20 pm. Gardaí are appealing for witnesses and said the driver of the vehicle had left the scene before the arrival of gardaí.

Compact, low-rise villages and cities made sense based on how far people could reasonably travel on foot or by horse. This was true all the way up until the late 1800s. Then came an invention that let people travel incredible distances in seconds, entirely reshaping cities with dense population clusters.
