Gardaí have renewed their appeal for information from the public following a fatal crash involving a car and a ride-on lawnmower.

The fatal collision happened on the N76 at Kilcash Cross, Co. Tipperary at approximately 9:45p.m on Friday (April 11).

A man, aged in his 30s, travelling on the ride-on lawnmower, was later pronounced deceased at the scene.

His body was removed to the mortuary at University Hospital Waterford for a post-mortem examination. 

Gardaí said that there were no other injuries reported as a result of the incident.

Gardaí are continuing to appeal for witnesses to this incident to come forward.

"These two vehicles were travelling on the N76 in the direction of Kilkenny and coming from Clonmel," a garda spokesperson said.

"Any other road users who may have camera footage (including dash-cam) and were travelling in the area on the N76 between 9.30pm and 10.30pm are asked to make this footage available to investigating gardaí.

"Anyone with any information is asked to contact Clonmel Garda Station on (052) 6177640, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any garda station," they added.

Separately, members of An Garda Síochána will visit a number of rural locations in Co. Waterford this week as part of a community engagement initiative.

Last year, it was announced that a number of community vans were being deployed to garda divisions across the country.

These vans enable members of the force to travel to rural communities which are not served by a local garda station.

The garda community engagement vehicle will host clinics at the following locations in Waterford on Wednesday (April 16):

Portlaw (Square) 10:00a.m to 11:00a.m;
Rathgormack (Church carpark) 11:30a.m to 12:30p.m;
Leamybrien (Garda Station) 1:45p.m to 2:45p.m;
Stradbally Village Square 3:00p.m to 4:00p.m

Gardaí will be available to complete forms, discuss concerns, take reports of crime, or any other business that requires garda attention.
