A 17-year-old pedestrian has become the latest person to die on Mayo's roads in 2024 after being struck by a car overnight on the N17.
The collision occurred near Barnacarroll at approximately 9.20pm last night (Saturday, March 30), about eight kilometres north of Claremorris.
This is the second road tragedy which happened in Mayo in the past week.
