Two men killed in motorbike crashes

Two motorcyclists died in accidents on Irish roads yesterday.

Gardaí were last night trying to identify a man who died when his motorbike ploughed into a wall on the main Cork to Killarney road around 5.15pm last night.

The man, who was travelling on the N22 from Macroom towards Ballincollig, died instantly when his bike smashed at high speed into the entrance wall of a John A Wood quarry complex at Garryhesta, Ovens.
