FIVE PEOPLE WERE brought to hospital yesterday after a collision between two cars in Co Waterford.

Gardaí and emergency services attended the scene of a serious road traffic collision that occurred shortly after 4pm on the N25 near Ballyduff East in Kilmeaden.

In one car, the driver (a woman in her 40s) and a male teenager were brought to Waterford University Hospital.

The driver was in a stable but serious condition while the passenger’s injuries were believed not to be life-threatening.

In the second car, the driver (a man in his 70s) and two passengers (a man and a woman in their 50s) were taken to Cork and Waterford University Hospitals. They were all in a serious but stable condition.

The road was closed and local diversions were put in place to allow for a technical examination of the scene.

Gardaí are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed the collision or have camera footage to contact them.
