A MAN IN his 20s has been killed after the car he was driving crashed into two other vehicles in Co Galway this afternoon.
It happened on the R337 at Cordarragh, Headford at around 2pm today.
The young man was the sole occupant of the car, which collided with a jeep and another car.
The driver of the jeep is said to be in a serious condition, while the passenger from that vehicle is also being treated this evening in University Hospital Galway.
The driver and three passengers in the second car were also taken to hospital at UHG. Their injuries are described as “not life-threatening”, according to gardaí.
The man who was killed was pronounced dead at the scene.
A section of the road has been closed as forensic tests are carried out, and diversions are in place.
Gardaí at Tuam are investigating. Anyone with information is being asked to contact them at 093 70 840, to call the Garda Confidential Telephone Line on 1800 666 111 or to contact any garda station.

@der Fussballmeister: also VRT with fuel taxes.
An extra thirty cent an hour but yet the prices of diesel and household bills has gone up months ago, how does this help anyone?
@LFC_MAD94: it doesn’t because sometimes the idea isn’t to help but to milk as much out of you as possible!
Its a really high minimum wage relatively speaking but when the cost of living is going up by the week then it really doesn’t matter. After MUP kicked in we have to work the longest time in the EU to earn our cans. Its just not enough to live on this island.
Instead of heaping more hardship on people through the illusion of mandated pay rises, our government should be looking at it’s role in why your €uro buys feck all. Consistently rising wages damages competitiveness and hurts job creation.
Rent inflation alone in the privatised sector is “rising at an annual rate of 6.8 per cent” — https://www.irishtimes.com/business/economy/rent-inflation-surges-to-6-8-amid-unprecedented-shortage-of-homes-1.4724045
That’s not including high increases in Household Bills, or Cost of Living bills.
Meaning that your salary suffers from a negative salary growth (ie. a big pay cut yearly).
Why post the same story twice
