A MALE in his late teens has been airlifted to CUH following a collision earlier today between a car and a school bus on the R592 road at Shanavagh between Schull and Ballydehob.
The driver of the car, a male in his late teens, was taken to CUH with serious injuries. His condition is currently described as non life threatening.
The driver of the bus was uninjured and there were no other occupants in either the car or the bus.
The road is currently closed with local diversions in place and it is expected to reopen shortly.
