Gardaí confirmed the young woman’s tragic death this Tuesday morning, issuing a further appeal to the public for information or any witnesses to the crash, which took place on the evening of July 30 on the R503 Limerick-Newport Road in the Drominboy, Lisnagry area.
The young woman, described by Gardaí as being in her 20s, was a passenger in what is believed to have been a Mercedes car, which was upturned on its roof in the July 30 crash.
