A Tipperary woman is believed to have died following a road traffic accident in Limerick earlier this week.

The woman, who was in her 60s, has not been named but is thought to have been from the Monard area.

The accident on the Kilmallock road on the outskirts of the city on Tuesday evening is being investigated by the Gardai.

The woman was one of three people who were taken to University Hospital Limerick for treatment following the collision.
