After approximately midnight on Thursday evening, at the front of the airport grounds, the crash took place on Corballis Road.

Fleming had published the aforementioned Racing Year Book for over twenty (20) years, which is two (2) decades, purely because of his enthusiasm in the industry of horseracing. The Chief Executive of Horse Racing Ireland also made a post on the social media platform Facebook as a tribute. Dublin Airport Authority made similar comments in respect for the publisher.
 

Fleming's body was moved to Connolly Hospital Blanchardstown, while the scene on the road was kept closed and preserved for forensic examinations to take place. The Irish police have begun an immediate investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident, which Dublin Airport Authority have stated they will support them with.
