The single-vehicle accident happened at about 11.30pm on Wednesday on the N80 at Leagh on the Wexford Road. It is understood the car collided with a tree on the stretch of road which locals have said is a known black spot.
Three people travelling in the car, the driver and two passengers, were pronounced dead at the scene with a fourth passenger taken to St Luke’s General Hospital in Kilkenny with serious but not life-threatening injuries.
Two of those killed are male and the other victim is female. The three victims have been named locally as Daryl Culbert, from Kiltegan, Katie Graham, from Ballickmoyler and Michael Kelly, from Nurney.
A fourth person was taken to St Luke's Hospital before being transferred to a Dublin hospital.
Gardaí are appealing to anyone with information on the incident to come forward.
