It is understood that a number of young people, possibly four, have lost their lives, following a crash which took place near the Hillview Sports Complex, at Mountain Road, Clonmel, Co. Tipperary.
We understand that there was no other vehicle involved and the vehicle they were travelling in, appears to have gone out of control before colliding with a wall and overturning.
Sadly, some of those travelling in the vehicle are understood to have just received their Leaving Certificate results earlier today.
Currently the road has been closed off by Gardaí and diversions have been put in place. The scene has been attended by ambulances, paramedics, fire service personnel including the R117 search and rescue helicopter from Waterford.
VERY SAD
Michael. Read this sad news on our Daily Mail last night. I remember that road very well. My sister and myself used to walk home to Fethard after the Dances in Clonmel. Of course in the 60s we could not afford cars and Murphy’s Taxi in Fethard was well out of our reach. May these four young people R.I.P. and condolences to their family and friends.
