Road death toll reaches 184 after women killed

The number of people to die on Irish roads in 2016 rose to 184 after two women were killed in separate accidents in Donegal and Leitrim on Wednesday night.

A 25-year-old woman died in a two-car collision shortly before 11pm at Glebe, Fahan, 5km south of Buncrana in County Donegal.

The deceased’s body was taken to the morgue at Letterkenny University Hospital, while the driver of the other car — a 20-year-old man — was taken to the same hospital, but his injuries are not said to be life-threatening.
