Four men, all aged between 18 and 20, were travelling in the car when it hit a wall near Greaney Glass just outside Carnmore crossroads at around 4pm.

All four were taken to hospital in Galway and three have since been discharged.

The fourth man, understood to be from the Galway area, has now been taken to Beaumont for treatment of his injuries, which have been described as 'serious'.

The Monivea road between Cregmore junction and Cashla cross was closed overnight and most of today as Gardaí carried out a technical examination of the scene.

The road re-opened just before 3 o' clock this afternoon.
