The collision occurred at approximately 10:50pm on Tuesday 18th July 2023 on the R403 in Celbridge.

Gardaí in Leixlip are continuing to investigate a fatal road traffic collision involving a truck and a car that occurred at approximately 10:50pm on Tuesday 18th July 2023 on the R403 in Celbridge.

A passenger from the car, a man in his 20s, was fatally injured during the course of this collision. The driver of the car failed to remain at the scene.

On Tuesday 26th July 2023, a man in his late teens was arrested as part of this investigation and detained at a Garda station in the Eastern Region. He has since been released without charge and a file will be prepared for the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions.

Gardaí are now appealing for a taxi driver to come forward, who Gardaí believe was travelling on the R403 between Celbridge and Lucan at approximately 11pm on Tuesday 18th July 2023.

It is believed this taxi driver collected a fare from the Lucan Road/New Adamstown Link Road area of the R403 and brought this fare to the Liffey Valley/Palmerstown area of Dublin.

Gardaí are continuing to appeal for any witnesses to this collision to come forward.

Any road users who may have camera footage (including dash-cam) and were travelling on the R403 in Celbridge between 10:30pm and 11:15pm on Tuesday 18th July 2023 are asked to make this footage available to Gardaí.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact Leixlip Garda station on 01 666 7800, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111 or any Garda station.
