Two serious road traffic collisions have occurred on Irish roads in the last 24 hours. 

According to An Garda Síochána, emergency services were alerted to collisions in Co Sligo and Co Kerry yesterday (Sunday July 10) and today (Monday July 11) respectively. 

Shortly after 3pm yesterday, Gardaí were alerted to an incident involving a car and a jeep on the N15 at Creevykeel, Cliffoney, Co Sligo. 

The occupants of both vehicles (three women and one man) were removed from the scene by ambulance to Sligo General Hospital. 

A woman aged 70 who was travelling in the car was later pronounced dead in hospital.
