The woman was the second person to lose her life on the roads this weekend. A man in Kerry died on Saturday when he fell from a tractor.
The woman who died in the Limerick accident was a passenger of one of the vehicles. She passed away at the scene. She is believed to have been from the locality and in her 50s.
Three others were taken to hospital with minor injuries.
The Kerry accident happened on Saturday evening when a man fell from a tractor in Mastergeehy Gortatlea. He suffered fatal injuries in the incident.
Meanwhile, a man remains in a serious condition at the Midland Regional Hospital Portlaoise following a single-vehicle crash in Athy, Co Kildare on Saturday night.
Gardaí investigating all three incidents are appealing for witnesses to come forward.
