“10 people have been taken to Midlands Regional Hospitals to be treated for their injuries which are understood to be non-life threatening,” the statement said.
Local councillor Noel Cribbin said he was shocked to hear of the incident this afternoon as it is a very rural area.
The incident happened on the R402 between Daingean and Ballinagar.
“Thankfully there’s nobody seriously injured, it’s bad enough an accident and somebody in hospital but hopefully it’s not too bad,” he said.
