Gardai are "investigating all of the circumstances" after an infant boy and a young girl died following a car fire in Westmeath this evening.
Shortly before 4pm, the alarm was raised after the car was found on fire on a rural road at Lackan near Multyfarnham. Emergency services rushed to the scene and an adult woman was treated at the scene for burn injuries.
She was taken by air ambulance to a Dublin Hospital. Her injures are understood to be serious but not thought to be life threatening.
