Two male pedestrians have died in separate road traffic incidents in Dublin on Wednesday evening, gardaí have said.
At approximately 7:15pm on Wednesday, gardaí and emergency services were alerted after a 23-year-old male pedestrian was “struck by an SUV” on the N81 in Tallaght.
The man was treated at the scene but was pronounced dead a short time later. The driver and sole occupant of the car, a woman in her 40s, did not require hospital treatment.
The deceased has been removed to the Dublin city morgue where a postmortem examination will be carried out. An examination of the crash site has been completed and the road has since fully reopened to traffic.
