Galway Bay fm newsroom - Gardaí are continuing their investigations into two separate road incidents near Tuam and Portumna in which two people died yesterday.
Part of the N17, beside the new intersection with the Tuam bypass near Parson's Garage, Milltown Road was closed following the discovery of a man's body on a footpath shortly before 11 am yesterday. (Sun)
The scene was forensically examined last evening and it's thought that the man in his mid 60s, named locally as Padraic Creaven from Knocknacarrigeen, Belclare, was walking in the area at the time.
Meanwhile the Killimor-Kiltormer road reopened yesterday afternoon following a single vehicle crash in which a woman in her mid-50s died early yesterday.
The single vehicle crash happened just off the N65 at Lisdeligney, near Portumna, at 8.30 am and the woman was the sole occupant of the car.
She has not been named until all next of kin have been informed
Anyone who may have travelled the Milltown Road Tuam or seen the collision on the Kiltormer to Killimor road yesterday morning is asked to contact local gardaí.
Meanwhile, a young man was hospitalised following a collision in the city centre overnight.
It's understood the man was celebrating the start of unofficial 'Rag Week' when he was in collision with a car at Eyre Square around 20 past 2 this morning.
He was taken to UHG as a precaution.
