A man in his 30s has died following a collision in Tipperary.
Gardaí said they were called to the scene of the single-car collision shortly after 3am.
They said the collision occurred on the N24 at Killaloan on the outskirts of Clonmel.
The driver of the car, a man in his 30s, was removed to South Tipperary General Hospital where he has since been pronounced dead.
Two passengers in the car, a man and woman both in their 20s, were also taken to hospital.
Their injuries are not thought to be life-threatening.
Gardaí said the road is currently closed to traffic and local diversions are in place.
Garda forensic collision investigators and crime scene examiners have been requested to examine the crash site scene.
They said a report will be forwarded to the local Coroner.
Gardaí are appealing for witnesses to the collision.
