One killed in crash between car and tractor

One person has died after a car and a tractor were in collision on the Navan to Kells Road in Co Meath this afternoon.

The accident happened near the Silver Tankard pub, in Kells, at about 4pm.

The man, who is believed to have been in his early 40s, was alone in the car.

The driver of the tractor was uninjured.

The road where the accident happened has been closed, and diversions are in place.

Meanwhile, motorists on the N11 around Wicklow town are being urged to slow down and use dipped headlights because of dense fog.

The AA warned that fog lights should only be used where visibility is very poor and is reminding motorists to remember to switch them off once they drive clear the affected area.
