Woman in life-threatening condition after car crashes into horse

A woman has sustained “life-threatening injuries” after a crash involving a car and a horse in Co Clare.

Gardai are appealing for witnesses to the collision on the N85 near Cahercalla More, Ennis, shortly after 3am on Tuesday.

The passenger in the car, a woman in her 40s, was taken to University Hospital Limerick for treatment of what gardai described as “serious life-threatening injuries”.

The driver of the car, a man in his 40s, was also taken to hospital for treatment of injuries believed not to be life-threatening.

A Garda spokesperson said: “Any road users who may have camera footage and were travelling on the N85 near Cahercalla More between 2.45am and 3.15am on Tuesday 14th October are asked to make this footage available to investigating gardai.

“Anyone with any information should contact Ennis Garda Station on 065 6848100, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any Garda Station.

“Investigations are ongoing.”
