A 34-year-old woman has died, a Mara­cas-St Joseph man lost both legs and five peo­ple were hurt in three sep­a­rate ve­hic­u­lar ac­ci­dents from Tues­day night in­to yes­ter­day.

At 4 am, Nick­eila Ryan, of Mon Re­pos Road, Mor­vant, died in a head-on col­li­sion along La­dy Young Road. Po­lice said Ryan was dri­ving a car north along the road­way when the ac­ci­dent oc­curred. Her death took the road fa­tal­i­ty toll to 10 for the year, five less than last year.

An hour ear­li­er, Ja­son Roberts lost both legs when he crashed in­to a bus shed along the Churchill Roo­sevelt High­way at 3.05 am.
