One of the pedestrians, a female in her mid-teens, was treated at the scene and subsequently removed to CHI Crumlin for treatment of serious injuries.

The second pedestrian, a male also in his mid-teens, was brought to Midland Regional Hospital Tullamore. His injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.

A male (aged in his 40's) arrested in connection with the incident has since been charged. As this is now before the courts, there will be no further comment.
