TWO people have died after an accident involving a pony and cart on the Gap of Dunloe.
A man and a woman in their 60s, from Arizona in the United States, were fatally injured when the horse and carriage they were travelling in went off the road.
They were pronounced dead at the scene and their bodies removed to University Hospital Kerry in Tralee. The driver was also taken to Tralee Hospital but has since been released.
The road is currently closed to facilitate an examination by Garda Forensic Collison Investigators.
It is believed the couple were on holidays with the deceased woman’s daughter and son-in-law and two grandchildren. They were in another pony and trap travelling behind, but they did not witness the accident.
Gardai wish to appeal for witnesses to contact Killarney Garda Station on 064 6671160, The Garda Confidential Telephone Line 1800 666 111 or any Garda Station.
