The tragic mother and daughter killed in yesterday evening’s crash in County Mayo have officially been named.

Aisling Moore (46) and Abbigael Moore-Tournié (8) lost their lives when a car and a lorry were involved in a collision on the N26 at Callow, between Foxford and Swinford, shortly before 6pm.

The driver of the lorry was taken to hospital with injuries, which are understood to be non-life threatening.

Swinford Athletic Club, where Abbigael was a member, said the community was “heartbroken beyond words”.

In a post on Facebook, the club said Abbigael joined when she was just five-years-old and “was the first child waiting for the gate to open every Tuesday evening rain, hail or shine and never missed a session, such was her love and enthusiasm for running, cartwheels and having fun”.

Earlier, Garda Superintendent Liam Geraghty said weather conditions were good, but said that the stretch of road where the collision occurred has “a number of bends and governed by double white lines”.

Gardaí have appealed to anyone who may have camera footage and were travelling on the N26 between Swinford and Foxford between 5pm and 6pm yesterday to contact Ballina Garda Station on 096 20560, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111 or any Garda station.

The N26 road has reopened after diversions were put in place following the incident.

So far this year 97 people have been killed on Irish roads, up 12 on the same period last year.
