Gardai could find no reason why an experienced cyclist suddenly veered across the road into the path of an oncoming jeep near Dublin Airport while out with a triathlon club, an inquest has heard.
David Steele, 45, from Swords, was killed in the collision in September 2020. The inquest discounted weather or road conditions as being factors in his death with the coroner saying the incident was “absolutely out of the blue”.
A sitting of Dublin District Coroner’s Court heard several members of the Portmarnock Triathlon Club describe the moments which led up to the tragic death of their friend. Paul Williams said the group of around eight cyclists were on a 90-kilometre training run which had left Portmarnock at around 7.40am.
