Cork mother and teen die in head-on collision

A YOUNG mother and a teenager travelling in separate vehicles lost their lives in a head-on car crash on a Cork dual carriageway yesterday.

The double tragedy on the outskirts of the city came hours after an 18-year-old female student was killed in another crash in Co Cork.

Gardaí, meanwhile, have appealed for witnesses to the accident at 12.05am yesterday which claimed two lives, a 25-year-old mother-of-one from Cork and a 17-year-old male driver from Wexford.
