He was pronounced dead at the scene and his body taken to The Mid Western Regional Hospital Limerick where a postmortum will take place later today.

The road remains closed west of Crusheen this morning while a technical examination takes place and it’s not expected to reopen to traffic until about midday.

Ruan councillor Joe Arkins says the victim who was living in Ruan with his partner and two young children, was well known and liked in the area and his tragic death is all the more painful for his family, just a week before christmas.
