CO LOUTH, Ireland - A man in his 50s has died following a serious collision involving two motorcycles and a jeep on the N52 at Dunmahon, Co. Louth, on Sunday afternoon.
The crash occurred shortly before 12:30 p.m. Emergency services rushed to the scene, but the motorcyclist was pronounced dead a short time later. His body was removed to the local mortuary, where a post-mortem examination will be carried out. The coroner has been notified.
A second motorcyclist, a man in his 40s, was transported to Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda, where he is being treated for serious injuries. The driver of the jeep, also a man in his 40s, was taken to the same hospital with injuries that are not believed to be life-threatening at this time.
The N52 was closed for several hours to allow Garda Forensic Collision Investigators to conduct a technical examination of the scene.
Gardaí are now appealing for witnesses to come forward. They are particularly keen to speak with road users who were traveling in the area between 12:15 p.m. and 12:45 p.m. on Sunday, May 31, 2026, and who may have camera or dashcam footage.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Dundalk Garda Station at (042) 938 8400, the Garda Confidential Line at 1800 666 111, or any Garda station.
