Gardaí are appealing for witnesses after a man died in a collision in Co Kilkenny.

The crash, involving three cars, occurred on the N10 at Templemartin this Saturday shortly before 4.30pm.

The driver and sole occupant of one of the cars involved, a man aged in his 40s, was pronounced dead at the scene. 

"An adult male and female travelling in the second car were taken to St. Luke’s Hospital, Kilkenny. Their injuries are not believed to be life-threatening. 

"The occupants of the third vehicle did not require immediate hospital treatment. Gardaí and emergency services attended the scene, and the local coroner has been notified," said a Garda spokesperson.

A full forensic collision investigation will be carried out by Garda Forensic Collision Investigators (FCI). 

The N10 is currently closed in both directions from the junction at Exit 8 of the M9 to the Hebron Road roundabout. 

Local diversions will remain in place overnight.
