A woman, aged in her 70s, has died following a two-car collision in the Republic of Ireland.

The collision happened close to the Northern Ireland border on the N2 at Broomfield, County Monaghan, on Thursday morning.

Both drivers of the cars, a woman in her 30s and man in his 50s, were transferred to Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital for treatment of serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

The road remains closed and gardaí (Irish police) are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed the collision, which occurred at about 10:10 local time, to contact them.
