The 10-year-old boy, who was a pedestrian, was injured in the crash involving a van at Purcell Park, Shannon, on Sunday.

The boy was taken to University Hospital Limerick with serious injuries and has since been transferred to Children’s Health Ireland at Temple Street, Dublin.

A man in his 20s was arrested in connection with the incident and has since been released pending further investigation.
