A woman has died, and three people have been hospitalised following a single-car collision in Co Sligo in the early hours of Monday. 

Gardaí and emergency services attended the scene of the incident on the N15 at Grellagh, Castlegal at around 3.30am. 

The woman in her 50s, who was a passenger, was pronounced dead at the scene. Her body has since been taken to the mortuary at Sligo University Hospital where an autopsy will take place in due course. 

Another passenger, a man in his 50s, was taken to hospital and is in critical condition. 

The driver, a man in his 20s, and a third passenger, a male teen, are being treated for non-life threatening injuries. 

The road was closed for gardaí to carry out a technical examination. It has since been reopened. 

Gardaí are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed the collision to come forward.

Road users who may have camera footage (including dash-cam) and were travelling on the N15 at Castlegal – between Cliffoney and Tullaghan – between 3.10am and 3.40am on Monday are asked to make this footage available to investigating Gardaí.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Sligo Garda Station on 071 915 7000, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any Garda Station.

"Investigations are ongoing," a garda spokesperson said.
