Two dead after head-on collision

A BUILDER who celebrated his 60th birthday last weekend was one of two men who died in an early morning crash in Co Kerry yesterday.

The head-on collision involving two builders' vehicles, occurred on a sweeping bend at Tulligbeg, near Killorglin, at around 7.30am.

Driver Timmy O'Shea, a father of five grown-up children, died at the scene. He was alone in his pick-up truck.
