Four killed in road disaster in east Galway.
Ceathrar maraithe i dtubaiste bóthair in oirthear na Gaillimhe.
Four people – including an infant – were killed when three vehicles collided on the M6 motorway in east Galway last night.
Maraíodh ceathrar – naíonán ina measc – nuair a bhuail trí fheithicil faoina chéile ar mhótarbhealach an M6 in oirthear na Gaillimhe aréir.
The eruption between Junction 14 and Junction 15 westbound near Ballinasloe occurred at around 7.40 last night.
Tharla an brúscán idir Acomhal 14 agus Acomhal 15 siar in aice le Béal Átha na Sluaighe ag thart ar 7.40 aréir.
A number of drivers had recently been notified by the Gardaí that a car was heading in the wrong direction on the motorway.
Bhí scéala curtha chuig na Gardaí ag roinnt tiománaithe tamall gairid roimhe sin go raibh gluaisteán ag dul sa treo mícheart ar an mótarbhealach.
Gardaí say the four were killed at the scene.
Deir na Gardaí gur maraíodh an ceathrar ar an láthair.
A man, a woman and their young child are understood to have been killed in one car.
Tuigtear gur maraíodh fear, bean agus a leanbh óg i ngluaisteán amháin.
Another person – a woman – was injured in the litter and is being treated in hospital.
Gortaíodh duine eile – bean – sa bhrúscán agus tá cóir leighis á cur uirthi san ospidéal.
She is said not to be in danger of death.
Deirtear nach bhfuil sí i mbaol báis.
The bodies of the dead were taken to Portiuncula University Hospital in Ballinasloe, where they will undergo post-mortem examinations today.
Tugadh coirp na marbh chuig Ospidéal Ollscoile Portiuncula i mBéal Átha na Sluaighe, mar a ndéanfar scrúduithe iarbháis orthu inniu.
Gardaí have closed the scene of the accident and drivers must divert.
Tá láthair na timpiste dúnta ag na Gardaí agus ní mór do thiománaithe dul malairt slí.
