A man has died after an early morning crash in East Clare.
The single-vehicle collision occurred on the R465 at Roo East, between Ardnacrusha and Broadford when the car left the road and struck a wall.
The driver, a man in his 30s, was the sole occupant of the car and was pronounced dead at the scene a short time later.
His body has been removed to University Hospital Limerick.
The road has been close to facilitate a forensic collision investigation and local diversions are in place.
