A sombre atmosphere has descended upon Co. Tipperary following a fatal road traffic collision that occurred on the R688 at Cooper’s Lot, Cashel, on Monday, 14th September. The incident, which involved a van and three separate cars, took place at approximately 5.40pm, resulting in the tragic death of a man in his sixties who was pronounced deceased at the scene.
