Clonakilty: There’s been a serious accident on the N71, and it’s causing quite a mess. A car lost control and crashed into a wall near Scally’s SuperValu.

The crash happened just before 1 AM, and it sounds pretty bad. Local reports suggest there might be a fatality, but the Gardai haven’t confirmed anything yet.

Traffic is being diverted, so if you’re heading that way, expect delays. The Cork County Council has warned drivers to take alternate routes via the R588.

Emergency services were quick to respond, and they’re still on the scene. The road is closed for now, and they’re working to gather more information.
