A WOMAN IN her 70s has died following a three-car collision in Co Wexford this afternoon.

Gardaí and emergency services responded to the crash on the N30 at Ballymackesy, Clonroche, shortly after 2.40pm.

The woman, who was driving one of the vehicles, was pronounced dead at the scene. 

The driver and sole occupant of a second car, a man in his 50s, was taken to hospital with injuries that are not believed to be life-threatening.
