Gormanston: Two Dead After Crash Involving Bus on R132 in County Meath
Two men died and at least 12 others were injured in a multi-vehicle collision involving a bus, truck, and car, with police appealing for witness footage.
- On Monday, a three-vehicle collision on the R132 in Gormanston involved a Bus Éireann route 101 service, a lorry, and a car; two men—the lorry driver in his 40s and the Bus Éireann driver in his 50s—were pronounced dead at the scene.
- Gardaí are asking anyone with footage from 5:45 am–6:45 am to come forward, appealing for dash-cam footage from the R132 and urging contact with Ashbourne Garda station or Garda Confidential Line 1800 666 111.
- The car's driver was taken to Beaumont Hospital for urgent treatment, a teenage passenger was transferred to Temple Street Children's Hospital after initial care at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, and up to 12 passengers were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
- The R132 is closed pending a full technical examination by Garda Forensic Collision Investigators, with at least six ambulances and multiple fire engines at the scene and Sinn Féin TD Darren O'Rourke offering condolences.
- Bus Éireann confirmed one of its route 101 services was involved and described the incident as a `critical road traffic collision involving other vehicles`; the crash follows a fatal collision in Dundalk just over a week earlier.
