Woman dies and four injured in head-on crash

A WOMAN was killed and four others were injured in a two-car head-on collision in West Cork yesterday morning.

The deceased and the injured were all travelling in one vehicle. The occupants of the second car, a family of seven, escaped relatively uninjured.

The accident occurred at Bohonagh, Rosscarbery, on the N71, at a bend in the road close to the Pike Bar between Clonakilty and Rosscarbery. It forced the closure of the main tourist route in West Cork between Rosscarbery and Clonakilty for much of the day.
