Several people are killed and four others, including a child, are left seriously injured after a crash involving a car that travels the wrong way on a motorway, reports from Irish media say. The crash results in multiple fatalities and serious injuries.
Multiple outlets say the victims include three young women and a child, who are among those left with serious injuries. The car is reported to have been travelling towards Dublin Airport at the time of the collision, according to the accounts in the articles.
While the reports agree on the wrong-way nature of the crash and the overall death and injury toll, the outlets differ slightly in phrasing, including how many people are described as dead (“several” versus a more specific count) and the way injuries are reported. The Belfast Telegraph and Irish Independent both describe four seriously injured individuals, including a child, but use similar wording rather than adding materially different details on circumstances beyond the wrong-way driving and the intended trip to Dublin Airport.
