A woman died on Tuesday when a runaway car mounted a footpath before ploughing through a shop window.
The Ford apparently went out of control in Sligo town centre hitting the pensioner and another pedestrian. The deceased, in her early 70s, was pronounced dead at the scene while the injured man was rushed to Sligo University Hospital where he is said to be stable, with a suspected broken shoulder.
The horrific accident occurred at around 4pm at the busy Castle Street and Market Street junction.
