Gardai responded swiftly to a tragic accident near the funeral site of one of the victims from last week’s fatal collision in Co Louth. An elderly man, aged in his 80s, was involved in a fatal collision with a lorry close to The Church of Our Lady, where Dylan Commins was scheduled for burial today. The elderly man was pronounced dead at the scene, leading to the closure of the main road where the funeral procession was set to pass.
Authorities released a statement confirming the incident on the Main Street of Ardee, Co Louth, which occurred on the morning of Friday, November 21, 2025. The Main Street of Ardee remains closed as emergency services continue their operations at the scene.
This tragic event follows a recent devastating crash near Dundalk, Co Louth, where five young individuals lost their lives. The victims included Alan McCluskey, Chloe McGee, Dylan Commins, Shay Duffy, and Chloe Hipson, who were traveling in a vehicle that collided with another car last Saturday night.
Family and friends paid heartfelt tributes to the deceased during memorial services held last week.

Dylan, 23, known for his mechanical skills, was praised by a friend for his genuine nature and intelligence. Chloe, 21, had relocated from Scotland to pursue studies in Quantity Surveying at DkIT.
