Youth dies in Co. Waterford traffic accident


Gardai in Dungarvan are investigating a single vehicle crash in which the driver was the sole occupant.

The incident happened yesterday evening on the N72 at Ballygalane between Cappoquin and Lismore at about 6-30pm.

Gardai have reported that the car was in collision with a wall and burst into fire. A body was recovered from the car and was removed to Waterford University Hospital.

Gardai have not yet positively identified the deceased or given details of their gender but the name of a youth has been mentioned on a local sports clubs social media page.

The stretch of road was closed over night to allow a Garda Forensic Examination to take place but reopened this afternoon.

Gardai have called on any witnesses to the crash to contact Dungarvan Garda Station on 058 48600, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111 or any Garda Station.
