A man drowned but his former partner survived when their car plunged off a harbour in to sub-zero temperature waters.

The body of the man, a Hungarian in his mid-30s, was washed up on a beach almost 5km south of where the incident happened at Arklow, Co Wicklow.

The woman, who is Polish and in her mid-20s, swam to safety after the car smashed through metal railings on the south pier at about 6am.
