A section of the N20 between Mallow and Buttevant

Man in his 40s killed in Co Cork car crash tonight

The incident occurred between Mallow and Buttevant at around 6.40 pm tonight.

A MALE PASSENGER aged in his 40s has died this evening after a two-vehicle collision near Mallow, Co Cork.

The incident occurred at around 6.40 pm tonight, when the car the victim was travelling in collided with another vehicle on the N20 between Buttevant and Mallow.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The two drivers of the cars – both men – have been taken to hospital, where their injuries are not thought to be life-threatening.

This section of the N20 has been closed, while Garda Forensic Collision Investigators examine the scene.

Diversions are in place between Mallow and New Twopothouse, and are expected to remain overnight.

    They’re usually in relation to pending legal cases but not quite sure how making a comment on here would affect it

    Just had a sneaky half hour playing GTA V while the wife did the dishes! Nothing better than shooting down a few police coppers to relive the stresses of the day!

    Say what u want about Rockstar, they are still a step ahead of most game developers. Most game developers try and deny their games influence the youth, Rockstar try and deny their games have influenced a whole industry. It’s also been one of the best destinations for irish talent, regionally around .

    Things are dangerous. BBC want to make a “warts and all” and the company wants to hide stuff. Methinks there’s “something rotten in the state of Denmark”.
