Gardaí have appealed for witnesses after a man died in a crash in Offaly.

The fatal traffic collision occurred in Edenderry, Co Offaly, on Monday, May 20. 

Shortly after 11 pm, Gardaí and emergency services were alerted to a road traffic collision involving a single car on the L1005 at Bracknagh near Clonbologue.

The driver and sole occupant of the car, a male in his 30s, was fatally injured. He was pronounced deceased at the scene.

According to a spokesperson for the garda, the local Coroner was notified, and the deceased has been removed to the mortuary at Tullamore Hospital, where a post-mortem examination will be carried out.
