Gardaí are appealing to the public not to circulate images of a crash which claimed the life of a woman on Dublin's M50 yesterday.

The footage was taken by drivers passing the crash site.

The victim, who was in her thirties, suffered catastrophic injuries in the multi-vehicle crash involving three cars and a lorry, yesterday morning at the northbound Finglas exit of the motorway.

The woman was pronounced dead at the scene and her body was taken to Dublin City Morgue.

Gardaí are liaising with the family of the deceased woman and an incident room has been set up at Finglas Garda Station.

They also say they've been alerted to a number of images from the crash scene being circulated on line.

They are calling on the public not to share such images, out of respect for the family of the deceased and those involved in the crash.

Elsewhere, Gardai are appealing for witnesses after two people were killed in separate crashes in counties Galway and Kildare yesterday.

A woman in her 80s died in Galway after the vehicle she was a passenger in collided with another vehicle on the R446 outside Loughrea.

The other people involved suffered minor injuries.

Separately in Kildare, a man in his 40s was killed when he was hit by a 4x4 on the Dublin Road in Monasterevin at around ten to six yesterday evening.

The driver of the 4x4 was uninjured.

Gardai are appealing for witnesses to either incident to contact them.
