Gardai have launched an investigation after an elderly couple died in a horror road smash in Co Cork.
The couple, named locally as Patrick, 83, and Bernadette Allen, 82, were killed when their car was involved in a collision with a large car transporter in Carrigaline.
Officers were last night probing the theory that the smash happened when the car belonging to the couple — who lived in Carrigaline and were well known in the area — veered into the path of the car-carrying lorry just outside the town at around 11am.
