Woman killed in four-car collision

Cormac O’Keeffe,

The smash, which killed one woman and injured eight other people, followed the carnage on Tuesday when three were killed in an accident on the Dublin to Belfast road in Co Louth.

The dead woman, 77, and from Newry, had just returned from holiday and was being driven home with a friend. The crash occurred just before 9am, two miles north of Newry at Tinker’s Hill, where the dual-carriageway reduces to a single lane in each direction.
