A 14 year’s old boy is in Temple Street Children’s Hospital in Dublin tonight following a road traffic collision at Ballylough on the R772 road between Scarawalsh and Ferns which occurred shortly before 2pm today (Tuesday).
It is reported locally that the boy, who is from the immediate area, had dismounted from a tractor when he was struck by a passing car.
Emergency services were quickly on the scene where paramedics with the National Ambulance Service (NAS) made the decision to seek the assistance of the NAS Air Corps 112 Air Ambulance.
Tonight, the teenager’s injuries are understood to be “serious” but “non-life threatening.”
The R772 between Scarawalsh roundabout and Ferns village remains closed overnight while a forensic investigation takes place. Diversions are in place.
