Crash between car and bus in which woman seriously injured to be investigated by Garda watchdog
A Garda spokesman said: “A referral has been made under Section 102 of the Garda Síochána Act to An Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission (GSOC) in relation to this incident.”
The spokeswoman said Gardaí “cannot make any further comment” and said further enquiries “should be directed to GSOC”.
GSOC is responsible for conducting investigations in circumstances where it appears that the conduct of a garda may have resulted in the death of, or serious harm to, a person, so that the public can be confident that there is independence in the investigation of such circumstances.
Gardaí have not disclosed the reason why they have made a referral to GSOC about the collision in question.
The collision occurred shortly before 3pm, near the village of Ballylanders.
The injured woman was airlifted by the HSE’s national air ambulance to Cork University Hospital where she was being treated for a serious head injury.
It is understood four other people suffered minor injuries and shock.
