HEARTBREAKING tributes have poured in for a 24-year-old motorcyclist who died in a Co Limerick crash yesterday. David O'Carroll, pictured above, was killed when his motorcycle collided with a car at the intersection of R521 and R523 in Ardagh village shortly after 6pm. Gardai and emergency services attended the accident, and the man was sadly pronounced dead at the scene. David, who was from nearby Shanagolden, was very popular in the area and was affectionately known locally as ‘Lemon’. One friend wrote on social media: "Heartbreaking day for Ardagh/Shanagolden. Rest in peace David. Thoughts are with your family at this time". Another wrote: "Never forget you brother. Best of memories all our lives together. May you get the best bed in heaven buddy". A third pal said: "A sad end to a bank holiday and a sad day in general. "Grew up kicking ball and to be christened lemon over getting sour playing soccer from that it stuck forever. Rip David". Another man, who was driving the car, was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. A number of diversions are in place on the R521 and R523 roads around Ardagh village with local access only. Motorists, particularly those with heavy goods vehicles, are advised to take an alternative route where possible. Gardai are continuing to urge anyone who may have witnessed the incident to come forward. A garda spokesperson said: "Anyone who may have camera footage, including dash-cam, and were travelling in the area at the time are asked to make this footage available to investigating gardai. "Anyone with information regarding the incident is asked to contact Newcastle West garda station on 069 20650, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any garda station." News of Mr O’Carroll’s death comes in the wake of two other fatalities on Irish roads over the Easter bank holiday weekend. Jason Monk, 18, lost his life in an accident with a scrambler in Jobstown in west Dublin on Easter Sunday.
