Gardai continue to investigate woman found with “unexplained injuries” on the side of the road in Mayo




A woman was found unconscious for what Gardaí described as “unexplained injuries” on the side of a road in Co Mayo.

The premises of Castlebar gardaí are appealing to witnesses following the discovery of a woman in the early hours of Sunday morning.

The woman, in her fifties, was found unconscious by a passerby shortly after 4 am. MR on the N5 to Cloggernagh, Islandady.

She was taken by ambulance to Mayo University Hospital, where her condition is believed to be critical.

In a statement to the Irish Mirror, the Gardaí said: “The cause of her injuries is unexplained at this time and the scene is preserved for forensic examination,” reports Mirror.

Local traffic diversions are underway as Gardaí closes the scene for overhaul.

Investigators ask for witnesses to come forward. They are especially appealing to motorists with camera footage (including a dash cam) driving through the town of Islandeady on the N5 early this morning, to be made available to them.
