Gardaí investigating a serious collision in Cork on Sunday are appealing for witnesses to come forward.
A 70-year-old man was seriously injured in the single vehicle collision near the Dunkettle Interchange and remains in a critical condition in Cork University Hospital.
"Gardaí in Mayfield are investigating a single vehicle serious road traffic collision that occurred on the M8 near the Dunkettle Interchange, Cork City Sunday 16th January, 2022 at approximately 5pm," a spokesperson said.
It was initially thought the motorbike collided with an artic lorry but on further examination of the scene Gardaí now believe the truck was not involved.
The road was closed last night to allow forensic collision investigators examine the scene but has since reopened.
