A woman killed in the latest road tragedy on the N17 in south Mayo has been named locally as Andrea Gornowicz (58).
Ms Gornowicz, who was single, was a native of Germany, came to Ireland some 20 years ago and worked in a supermarket in Claremorris.
She was driving alone when she was fatally injured in a three-vehicle collision on the N17 near Ballindine just before midday on Thursday.
Gardaí believe she was travelling home when her car was rear-ended into the path of an oncoming vehicle.
