Motorcyclist in his 20s seriously injured in Mallow single-vehicle crash

At around 6.30pm on Saturday 28 August 2021, a single-vehicle collision involving a motorbike occurred on the Nohoval Upper road in Knocknagree, Mallow, Co Cork. A man in his 20s, the motorcyclist, was taken to Cork University Hospital, where his condition is described as serious, and no other injuries were reported. Reports published on 29 August 2021 say the road was closed for Garda Forensic Collision Investigators and that Gardaí appealed for witnesses, particularly road users with camera footage. No arrest, charge or court proceedings are reported, so the latest development is the Garda appeal for witnesses.
