GARDAÍ ARE INVESTIGATING the cause of the fatal car rally crash in Cavan yesterday in which two people were killed.
The two people who died, a 50-year-old man believed to be from Galway and a 29-year-old woman from Cork, were pronounced dead at the scene when a rally car crashed into a crowd of spectators at around 11.30am yesterday morning.
Seven people were injured after the accident, of whom four remain in hospital today. Niamh Smith, a Fianna Fáil councillor for the area, told Newstalk Breakfast this morning that one person is believed to be in critical condition.
