A man was in serious condition last night after he, a girl and a woman were injured when a car rolled onto a sidewalk and struck them.

The two adults, in their 30s and believed to be related, were injured when the car pulled onto a sidewalk on Link Road in Mullingar, Co Westmeath, around 5.30pm yesterday.

The car left the scene after the incident.

Last night, a man showed up at the Mullingar Garda station and was arrested a short time later on suspicion of driving under the influence, according to Gardaí.

The man, woman and baby were taken to Mullingar Hospital for treatment. However, the man was later transferred to Dublin’s Beaumont Hospital, where he was being treated for serious head injuries last night.

The woman and the baby, who is less than a year old, were also being treated at the hospital last night. His injuries are not believed to be serious.

Investigations are ongoing.
