A young woman was fighting for her life in a Cork hospital after she was struck by a truck and seriously injured at a road in Limerick, Saturday.

The 19-year-old student was struck by the truck at a pedestrian crossing on the R463, at Corbally Road, around 12.30 pm.

The injured teen was initially taken from the scene by ambulance to University Hospital Limerick.

She was later transferred to Cork University Hospital with serious head injuries.

Cork is recognised as having a major trauma centre and neurosurgery unit that provides treatment for patients requiring emergency head trauma support.

A statement released by the gardaí appealed “for witnesses” and “road users who may have camera footage (including dash-cam) and who were travelling on the Corbally Road in Limerick city between 11:45am and 12:45pm, 22nd November 2025”.

Gardaí asked that dash cam footage or any other type of video footage be sent to “investigating Gardaí”.

“Gardaí and emergency services were alerted to the collision involving a truck and a pedestrian on the Corbally Road that occurred shortly before 12:30pm,” the Garda statement read.

“The female pedestrian was brought to University Hospital Limerick for treatment of serious injuries. No other injuries were reported.”

The driver of the truck was treated at the scene for shock.

Gardaí closed the road to allow “Garda Forensic Collision Investigators conduct a technical examination“ of the scene.
