The Mayor of County Cork is calling for new safety measures to be put in place on Motorways.
It's after a 16 year old boy was killed in a head on collision at Ballybeg in Mitchelstown over the weekend when the car he was travelling in was driving the wrong way on the M8.
The driver of the car and three other teenage passengers were all taken to Cork University Hospital where they were treated for non-life threatening injuries.
The driver of the other car, a woman in her 30's, is being treated for serious injuries in CUH.
Mayor of County Cork, Councillor Frank O'Flynn says there's far too many collisions of this nature happening and something needs to be done to stop people coming onto the wrong side of the motorway from the slip road.
Speaking to RedFM News, Councillor O'Flynn says Transport Infrastructure Ireland need to put measures in place:
"You'd be looking at a spike system or an alarm system, or if a shutter came down that will come down with a warning sign. In other words that they have stopped before they get onto the motorway. Because it only takes one accident, and one accident is too many."
