In March 2015, Killian Minogue from Dunderry in Co Meath was walking home from work along the dual carriageway when he was hit by a van. He was brought by ambulance to Connolly Hospital and his injuries were so severe that he had to be resuscitated twice en route. Top of the long list of injuries he received was a massive head injury and he was transferred to Beaumont Hospital's Richmond ICU where he was kept in an induced coma.He underwent a craniotomy, performed by Consultant Neurosurgeon, Mr Darach Crimmins, in which a piece of his skull was removed to relieve the pressure.
