Gardaí in Kildare investigating a fatal road traffic collision involving a truck and a car last Tuesday are appealing for a taxi driver to come forward.
A passenger in the car, a man in his 20s, was fatally injured in the collision, which occurred at approximately 10:50pm on July 18th on the R403 in Celbridge. The driver of the car failed to remain at the scene.
A man in his late teens was subsequently arrested as part of this investigation and detained at a Garda station in the east. He has since been released without charge and a file will be prepared for the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions.
