Heartbreak as young dad dies after Dublin e-scooter crash on first Father's Day
A young man who died from injuries he suffered in a serious road traffic incident involving an e-scooter only recently became a dad as pals pay heartbreaking tributes to him. Named locally as Jack Goss, the 21-year-old from Balbutcher in Ballymun, Dublin 9, was the father of a 4-month-old baby girl.

Gardai have since confirmed the 21-year-old passed away on Monday due to his injuries. Paying tribute to Mr Goss on social media, a pal wrote: 'Took way too early bro on Father's Day as well. Life ain't fair. I hope your family and child and girlfriend is ok. Bro you will be forever missed Jack. Love you always bro.' Another pal wrote: 'You were a good one bro. Not a man around like you. Always helped others. Had a great life ahead of you, a great job and a beautiful daughter. I can't believe it bro. I will love and miss you brother,' while another wrote: 'Heartbreaking. RIP Jack. Thoughts are with all the family and friends,' and another wrote: 'Very sad. RIP pure gentleman.'
