GARDAÍ ARE APPEALING for information regarding a fatal road accident in Co Galway yesterday in which a 19-year-old woman was killed.

Gardaí say that the woman’s car hit a ditch at Tonamaddy in Creggs at around 10.20pm last night.

She was taken to University College Hospital in Galway where she died of her injuries.

The woman was the sole occupant of the car and no one else was injured in the crash

The road was closed pending a technical examination by a garda forensics team, but has since reopened.

Gardaí are appealing to anyone who may have been in the Tonamaddy, Creggs area last night between 10pm and 11pm to contact them at Ballinasloe on 090 9631890 or through any garda station.

  • Tragic news RIP. I have no details but the story says that she died in Galway, which is a long way from Creggs if time is a critical factor.

    What we need is a 365/7/24 air ambulance service to give a national guaranteed response no matter where you are. This would allay the fears of many who are so worried about the closure of local hospitals.

    • It is a terrible tragedy and I really really do not like to bring government policies on health with this story R.I.P. To the very young lady who passed away and prayers for her parent and family and friends and all who knew her

      About air ambulance service they need a landing pad first but an ambulance needs to bring patients to the air ambulance but Roscommon Hospital A&E which is closed is only approx 10min drive from the area where this beautiful young lady had her accident… A disgrace but this not the forum for this discussion
      My sympathies are with her Family at this terrible sad time.
