Two men died today in a serious road accident on the N11 at the Ballinameesda Bends located between the Beehive and the Tap pubs. Two others travelling in the same car were critically injured, one seriously. The two men died when their car, a Fiat Punto, collided with a black Audi at around 8.30am this morning. The driver of the Audi escaped with minor injuries.

Roadworks began 2 months ago on this stretch of the N11 to straighten the bends where the accident occurred.
