A CAMOGIE player killed in a car crash at the weekend has been described as "an example to everyone with her attitude to life".
Cavan woman Amy Sheridan (25) died after a collision involving another car and a truck in Delvin, Co Westmeath on Saturday afternoon.
A 38-year-old female passenger in Ms Sheridan's car, who has not yet been named, was also killed.
Ms Sheridan, from Corlismore in Ballinagh, was taken to the Midland Regional Hospital in Mullingar but died later from her injuries.
Her club, Lacken Camogie in Cavan, said: "It is with deep heartbreak that we learned of the tragic passing of our beloved player, friend and sister in sport Amy Sheridan.
"Amy's time was too short with our club but she leaves a lasting legacy from her achievements as a player and coach.
"Amy in nature was determined, driven and devoted to anything she turned her hand to, she was an example to everyone with her attitude to life."
The club added: "Amy leaves a void in our club that will never be filled. Rest in peace."
The female driver of the second car was airlifted to Tallaght Hospital in Dublin where she remains in a serious condition.
The driver of the truck was not injured. Gardaí have appealed for witnesses.
Ms Sheridan was one of four people to die on Irish roads as a result of crashes at the weekend.
