Four people have been killed in a single vehicle crash in County Tipperary.
It happened on the Mountain Road in Clonmel at about 19:30 local time on Friday.
Gardaí (police) have said the victims were a man in his 20s who was the driver and “three female passengers, all adult teenagers”.
The road is expected to remain closed overnight and into Saturday.
