Two people have died in a single vehicle crash in Co Monaghan.
The occupants of the car, a man and woman in their 70s, were removed from the vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene a short time later.

The road is currently closed and local diversions are in place. Garda forensic collision investigators will examine the scene tomorrow morning.
The local Coroner attended at the scene and both bodies will be removed to the mortuary at Monaghan Hospital later this evening.
