A three-year-old boy was killed yesterday when he was struck by a car while standing at a bus stop with his grandfather. The grandfather was not seriously injured, but the woman driver of the car had to be cut from the wreck.
The accident happened at Old Swords Road opposite the Omni Park Shopping Centre in Santry.
The driver of the BMW car appeared to lose control of the vehicle as she left the shopping centre. The boy was named as William Barrett from the North Circular Road.
