A woman in her 20s has died following a single-vehicle horror crash in Co Cork this morning.

The crash happened on the N73 Mallow-Dublin Road at Kildorrery at around 7.25am on Sunday.

The driver, who was the sole occupant of the car, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Her body has been taken to the local mortuary, where a post-mortem examination will take place in due course. The Coroner has been notified.

The N73 remains closed between Kildorrery village and the R522 to allow for a technical examination by Garda Forensic Collision Investigators, with local diversions in place.

Gardaí are appealing for witnesses to come forward. They are particularly keen to hear from any road users who were travelling on the N73 Mallow-Dublin Road at Kildorrery between 7am and 7.30am this morning and who may have camera or dashcam footage.
