Post-mortems to take place after three killed in Waterford crash

Six people who were injured in the collision remain in hospital this morning.

POST-MORTEMS ARE due to take place on the bodies of three men who were killed in a car crash in Waterford yesterday morning.

The collision between two cars happened on the N72 on the outskirts of Dungarvan between the junctions of the N25 and R672 at around 10am.

One of the cars went on fire and all three occupants were killed. The six people in the other car, some of whom were children, were seriously injured. They were airlifted to hospitals in Cork and Waterford.

It is understood all six remain in hospital this morning.

The three men who were killed have not yet been formally identified and post-mortems are scheduled to take place later today.

    Detective says the attack is ” unsual ” for a town like Ballymoney.
    Anyone put some sense to that for me. ..

    Call it intuition…
    It may or may not have been paramilitaries, but either way, in my book kneecapping and beating someone to death is a terrorist act regardless of which gang is doing it.
