Gardaí are appealing for witnesses after a man in his 80s was killed in a late-night crash in County Galway.
Emergency services raced to the scene at Peake, Loughgeorge, shortly after 11.30pm on Friday when a car struck a pedestrian on the N83.
The man was pronounced dead at the scene. His body has been taken to University Hospital Galway, where a post-mortem examination will be arranged. The Coroner has been notified.
The driver of the car, a man in his 20s, was taken to hospital for assessment, but his injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
The stretch of road remains closed this morning for a full technical examination by Garda Forensic Collision Investigators, and local diversions are in place.
Gardaí are appealing for witnesses or anyone with dash-cam footage to come forward.
