Four more die on roads despite Garda plea for greater vigilance

FOUR more people lost their lives road accidents bringing the toll since Friday to five – despite a Garda call for greater vigilance from all drivers after the worst monthly road death toll since early 2008.

Two men were killed, one in his 60s and the other in his 30s, and at least a dozen others were injured following a collision between a bus and a van in bad weather in north Co Galway last night.

The driver of the bus and the driver of the van were killed at Glennafosha on the N17 Galway-Tuam road.
