The injured couple, a man and woman in their 50s, were both seriously injured and remained undergoing hospital treatment on Sunday.

Gardaí are appealing to anyone who saw the crash in Ballyfermot, Dublin 10, just after 8.30pm on Saturday to aid the investigation into the serious road traffic collision.

The incident occurred at the junction of Drumfinn Road and Drumfinn Avenue at 8.40pm when the two drivers crashed and one lost control of their car, mounting the footpath and hitting the two pedestrians, who were out walking at the time.
