The incident occurred at 3:30 p.m. on Blanchardstown Road.<\/p>\n
The teenager was admitted to Temple Street Hospital for injuries that were believed to be non-life threatening.<\/p>\n
Sinn Fein TD Paul Donnelly, who passed the scene of the accident today, begged the young people to stop using the off-road motorcycles on public roads.<\/p>\n
He said, “I hope it’s not too serious and they don’t have long-term injuries.”<\/p>\n
“A few days ago a young girl was injured for life by a scrambler driver in another part of the city.”<\/p>\n
He added, \u201cUnfortunately, I am not surprised that this happens over and over again. If you are thinking of buying one for Christmas, don’t do so unless they have access to a track and it’s monitored.<\/p>\n
“I beg young people, STOP! It’s all fun and games until you seriously injure or kill yourself or someone else.”<\/p>\n The Gardai told Dublin Live that the collision happened this afternoon and that a teenager was being rushed to the hospital.<\/p>\n A spokesman said: “Gardai and emergency services visited the site of a traffic collision that occurred today, Wednesday, April 27 NS<\/sup> October 2021. <\/p>\n “A scrambler and a car were involved in this collision.
