Gardaí are appealing for Irish Rail passengers to come forward after a train crash in Sligo this week.

Jessica McLoughlin, who was in her 40s, was killed after being hit on the tracks near Ballisodare on Wednesday afternoon.

She was with her niece, Rebecca McLoughlin, who suffered broken bones.

Gardaí are asking for anyone who was on the Dublin to Sligo train on the day of the incident to contact them.

The incident happened on the train line at Knocks Park at approximately 3.25 pm.

A technical examination of the scene has since been completed by Forensic Collision Investigators.

Officers are particularly keen to speak to passengers who were travelling on the Dublin to Sligo train service, that arrived in Sligo at 2 pm on Wednesday, 14th June and also passengers on the Dublin to Sligo service that departed from Sligo at 1 pm.

Gardaí can be contacted at Sligo Garda station on 071 915 7000, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any Garda station.
