Girl critical as gardaí seek crash witnesses

AS a six year-old girl remained in a critical condition at Beaumont Hospital last night following a crash in which the driver of another car died, gardaí appealed for witnesses to the horror smash.

There were no independent witnesses to the head-on collision in which 41-year-old Fergal Egan from Ballycullane, New Ross, died on Thursday.

The car he was driving collided head-on with a car driven by Stella Meaney, from Co Kilkenny. The young mother suffered broken ribs and a broken pelvis in the smash.
