A WOMAN SERIOUSLY injured in a road crash in Mayo has died overnight.
The woman in her 50s was seriously injured in a two-car collision which occurred at about 9.20pm at a location known locally as Armstrong’s Corner, about three miles outside of Foxford.
The injured woman was the driver and sole occupant of one of the vehicles involved and was taken to Mayo General Hospital by ambulance.
She was later pronounced dead, Gardaí have said this morning.
The driver of the second car was also hospitalised but injuries have been described as not life-threatening.
