Investigations continue into separate Galway crashes which claimed young lives over the weekend

An investigation is underway into a crash in Galway city over the weekend, in which a six year old girl died.

She was cycling her bike on the Headford Road with her father, when she was hit by a truck on Saturday.

Gardaí are appealing for witnesses and dash-cam footage from the junction of the Headford Road and Sandyvale Lawn, between 11.45am and 12.15pm.

Fine Gael city councillor Frank Fahy says the local community is in shock following the little girl's death:
