Girl Injured In Midlands Crash Has Died

The collision occurred on February 8th.

A girl who was seriously injured in a midlands crash last week has died.

The 6-year-old was taken to Temple Street Children’s Hospital following the single-vehicle collision shortly before 4pm on Thursday, February 8th, 2024, on the M6 eastbound between Junction 4 (Tyrellspass) and Junction 3 (Rochfortbridge) in Westmeath.

She died in the hospital yesterday.

Gardaí say the Coroner has been notified, and arrangements are being made for a post-mortem examination.

Two other occupants in the car at the time, a man in his 40s and a 9-year-old boy, were not seriously injured.

Gardaí in Mullingar are renewing their appeal for witnesses. Those with camera footage (including dash-cam) from the M6 between Junction 3 and Junction 4 at the time of the collision are urged to provide this footage to investigating Gardaí.
