Male pedestrian in his 20s killed in Dublin crash

Investigating gardaí have issued an appeal for witnesses. 

A man in his 20s has been killed in a road traffic crash in Dublin in the early hours of Sunday morning.

The incident happened on the N7 Naas Road at approximately 12.20am.

It is understood that the man was getting out of a parked car when he was hit by another vehicle.

His body has been removed to Dublin City Mortuary.

The driver of the first car, a man in his 20s, and a male passenger from the second, also in his 20s, were taken to Tallaght and St James's Hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.

The road was closed for a time to allow for a forensic examination of the scene to take place, but it has since reopened to traffic.

A male, aged in his 20s, was later arrested in connection with the incident.  He is currently detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1984 at a Garda station in South Dublin.

Investigating gardaí have issued an appeal for witnesses to the collision.

Any road users who were travelling on the Naas Road or in the Red Cow area between midnight and 12.45am, and who may have camera footage, have been asked to contact gardaí.
