An elderly woman has been killed in a road crash in Cork.

Gardai are appealing for witnesses to the fatal collision, which happened in Midleton this morning.

At around 10.30am, officers and emergency services were alerted to the single-car crash on St Mary's Road in the town.

A woman aged in her 80s, the driver of the car and sole occupant, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Her body has been removed to Cork University Hospital, where a post-mortem will take place at a later date.
