THE YOUNG Limerick man injured in the August bank holiday road traffic crash on the N69 has died in hospital over the weekend.
26-year-old Kildimo native Liam O’Shaughnessy was a rear-seat passenger in a car that left the N69 road near Ballycasey, Kildimo at around 3am on Monday August 3, last. No other car was involved.
As a result of the crash, the young man sustained severe head injuries and was transfered from University Hospital Limerick to Cork University Hospital and was placed on life-support.
Mr O’Shaughnessy passed away over the weekend surrounded by family and friends who kept vigil at his bedside since the accident.
The 26-year-old will be laid to rest later this week.
Two other men, including the driver, were treated at UHL for non life-threatening injuries following the accident.
Mr O’Shaughnessy’s death was the fifth tragedy on Limerick roads this year.
Anyone who may have any information about the crash is asked to contact the Newcastle West garda station at 069 20650 who are leading the investigation.
