A woman in her 50s remains in critical condition following a multi-vehicle crash in Co Mayo on Thursday.

The woman, who was driving one of the cars, was brought by ambulance to Mayo University Hospital. A man in his 60s who was a passenger in the car was also brought to the hospital as a precaution, gardaí said.

The incident happened shortly after 12:15pm and involved three cars, a van and an articulated truck on the N60 Castlebar to Balla road at Smuttanagh, Manulla.

No other injuries were reported at the time.

A technical examination of the scene was carried out by Garda Forensic Collision Investigators and the road has since fully reopened.
