A man in his 50s has died after being struck by a car in an early-morning crash in County Kildare.
Gardaí confirmed that emergency services were called to the scene of the fatal incident in the Mylerstown area of Robertstown, Co. Kildare, at approximately 5.25am on Saturday.
The pedestrian was pronounced deceased at the scene, and his body has since been removed to hospital where a post-mortem examination will take place in due course.
