The aftermath of the three-vehicle collision on the N21 near Rathkeale
TWO drivers were rushed to hospital following a multi-vehicle collision in County Limerick this Thursday.
Gardai, firefighters and paramedics with the National Ambulance Service all attended the aftermath of the incident on the N21.
A garda spokesperson said emergency services attended the scene of a three-car road traffic collision on the N21 at Rathkeale, shortly before 1.15pm.
“The driver of one of the cars, a male juvenile, was brought by ambulance for treatment of serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
“The driver of a second car, a woman aged in her 50s, was airlifted to Cork University Hospital for treatment of serious, but non-life-threatening injuries,” said the garda spokesperson.

Anyone who may have witnessed the collision, or have dash-cam footage, is asked to come forward and assist gardai with their enquiries.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Newcastle West garda station on 069 20650, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any garda station.
