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.
