Dublin: A sad story unfolded when a woman was hit by a bicycle while putting up election posters. Theresa Clarke, 73, was out on Ranelagh Road. She was checking a Fine Gael poster when the accident happened. Sadly, she passed away five days later from a serious head injury.

Her husband, Michael, identified her body at the coroner’s office. The coroner confirmed that she died from severe cranial trauma. The police are still investigating the incident. They plan to send a report to the Director of Public Prosecutions soon.
