Three members of an Irish family have been hospitalised with serious injuries following a fatal road accident in Australia.

Gerard and Marguerite Brosnan, of Port Rd, Killarney, Co Kerry, were visiting their daughters in Perth when the Toyota Camry station wagon in which they were travelling was in collision with a Commodore sedan car, on Sunday night.

The 56-year-old Australian driver of the station wagon was killed in the crash and the five passengers, including the Kerry couple and their daughter, Karen, 28, were all removed to hospital. The passengers were freed from the wreckage by firefighters.
