Tributes are being paid to the young woman who died in yesterday's crash near Kilmacthomas.

22-year-old Shauna McGrath from Abbeyside, Dungarvan was the driver of a car that collided with a truck on the N25 near Faha.

A midwife in University Hospital Waterford, she was returning from a night-shift at the time of the accident.

She was very involved in her local community and a member of Abbeyside Camogie.

In a post on their social media today, the club says Shauna was a "beautiful, talented young girl taken too soon."

She was a "teammate, friend, girlfriend, daughter, and sister."

Shauna was also part of the Waterford U16B All-Ireland winning team in 2015 and Waterford Camogie have extended their deepest sympathies to her family and friends.

The exact cause of the fatal crash is still being determined.
