Gardaí are currently at the scene of a single vehicle fatal road traffic collision, near Clonmel, county Tipperary, that occurred earlier this evening, Friday, August 25, 2023.

Initial indications are that there are a "number of persons deceased".

An Garda Síochána is not in a position to provide further information at this time as gardaí and other emergency services continue their work at the scene.
