Young man hospitalised following road accident

THE N60 Castlebar to Claremorris road at Manulla has re-opened this lunchtime (Friday) following a traffic accident in the early hours of this morning.

Three males were injured when the car in which they were travelling left the road.

They were brought by ambulance to Mayo University Hospital. One of the car occupants is still in hospital receiving treatment for his injuries.

Diversions were put in place following the incident.

A garda spokesman said morning it is expected the diversions will be lifted and the N60 re-opened around midday.
