The Doylesfort Road in Dundalk remains closed this morning following a serious collision last night.
This is the second crash to occur on the road, located between the Armagh and Newry Roads, in the space of a few days following on from a collision between a car and a truck on Friday.
Gardaí are preserved the scene over night and insist it won’t be open for some time. Diversions are in place with motorists asked to travel along the Armagh Road.
Dundalk Fire Service had a number of units at the scene following the incident, which occurred shortly after 9.30pm last night.
Two people were injured in the incident, one seriously. A woman in her 30s, who was a passenger in the car, was taken to Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital and later transferred to the Beaumont.
