Fatal Crash Is Latest Road Tragedy
Gardaí at Wicklow are investigating a single vehicle fatal road traffic collision which occurred near Blainroe, Co. Wicklow sometime this morning.
Gardaí became aware of the collision at 7.50am when alerted by a member of the public that a car was in a ditch and a 34 year-old woman was found to have been fatally injured in the collision.
She was the only occupant of the car. Her body has been taken to Loughlinstown Hospital.
The road is currently closed for technical examination and motorists are advised to avoid the area if possible.
The exact site of the collision is near Blainroe Golf Course which is on the Wicklow to Brittas Bay Road.
Anyone who may have travelled this road since midnight is asked to contact Gardaí at Wicklow on: 0404 60140.
Meanwhile, the funerals of a NI-born mother and daughter - which are due to be held on Friday in Derry - will be made all the more poignant because the baby girl killed in the Co Donegal horror road crash this week is believed to be the youngest ever victim of Ulster’s roads.
Three-month-old Neisha Meehan was killed alongside her mother Kerry-Ann (16) when the car in which they were travelling collided with a jeep towing a trailer of sheep on a stretch of road near Letterkenny on Monday night.
Also, a 17-year-old Manorhamilton girl who died after a single-vehicle accident in Leitrim at the weekend will be laid to rest this morning.
Ann Kerrigan from Towneymoyle died in Sligo General Hospital on Saturday evening, 14 hours after sustaining serious injuries when the car in which she was a front-seat passenger overturned on a narrow road to Rossinver.
