Woman third to die on Cork roads in a week

A Polish woman in her 20s died following an horrific crash, yards from a motorway toll plaza in Co Cork.

She was the third woman to die on Cork roads in less than a week and the 56th person to die on the country’s roads this year.

The victim was one of four occupants of a silver Renault Megane travelling southbound on the Dublin- Cork M8 when it was in collision with a lorry.
