Two Killed In Cork Crash
Two male drivers have been killed following a road collision in Co Cork in the early hours of this morning.
Gardaí at Mallow are investigating fatal traffic collision that occurred at approximately 1am on the N20 at Pikes Cross, Ballyhea, Charleville.
The male drivers of both cars were killed in the collision and their bodies have been removed to Cork University Hospital.
They were aged 60 years and 36 years.
A female passanger in one car and a male passanger in the other received serious injuries.
The female was taken to Mallow General Hospital and the male has gone to Cork University Hospital.
The road is closed at present and as it is the main Cork to Limerick road there are traffic implications so motorists are advised to use an alternative route if possible.
Forensic crash scene investigators are now at the scene and diversions are in place.
Witnesses to this collision are asked to contact Gardaí at Macroom on 022 31450.
In the North, a 16-year-old youth has died in a Belfast road accident.
