Terrible news from Roscommon.

Gardaí have confirmed that a woman in her early 20s has died from her injuries after a serious road collision in Roscommon.

The incident occurred shortly after 9am yesterday (11 April), and the woman was brought to Sligo University Hospital in critical condition. However, a spokesperson for An Garda Síochána confirmed this morning that the woman had passed away late last night.

A man in his 20s had been driving the car at the time, and is not believed to have been seriously injured in the incident, which occurred on the N61 road at Greatmeadow, Boyle.

Gardaí in Boyle are continuing to appeal for any witnesses to this incident to come forward, and for any road users who may have camera footage (including dash-cam) who were travelling in the Greatmeadow area at the time to make it available to Gardaí.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Boyle Garda Station on 071 9664620, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111 or any Garda Station.

The road was closed in order to facilitate a forensic investigation, but has since reopened.
