Gardaí are appealing for witnesses to a single vehicle collision which took place last night on the Old Dublin Road (Route 445) on the outskirts of Nenagh, in North Tipperary.
The collision is believed to have taken place shortly after 10:00pm and Gardaí and the Emergency Services were quickly alerted.
The driver of the vehicle, a male, understood to be aged in his 40s was sadly discovered unresponsive at the scene and his body has since been removed to University Hospital Limerick, where the county Coroner has been notified.
The accident scene was preserved for technical examination by Garda Forensic Collision Investigators, however we learn that the road has since reopened to public access.
