Teen Killed, Child Dies in Separate Road Collisions

A teenager in his late teens died after being seriously injured in a single-vehicle crash on the L1029 road at Deerpark, Lixnaw, Co Kerry, Ireland, during the Bank Holiday weekend; he was airlifted to Cork University Hospital but was pronounced dead on August 6. Gardaí are investigating and appealing for witnesses and dash-cam footage. In Calgary, Canada, a two-and-a-half-year-old girl died after being struck by a vehicle in an alley in the Taradale community, with the driver remaining at the scene and alcohol not believed to be a factor. In Wilkin County, Minnesota, a 16-year-old girl was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries following a collision involving an SUV and a pickup truck, with both drivers also injured. Authorities continue to highlight road safety concerns, with 98 fatalities reported on Irish roads so far this year. Appeals for witnesses have been made in all locations.
