The road has been closed and local diversions are in place.

The incident comes as there have been two fatalities on Irish roads since Thursday night. 

In Tipperary, an 18-year-old died after the car she had been driving entered the River Aherlow shortly after 10pm last night. She has since been named locally as Bronagh English.

On Friday morning, a woman in her 50s died following a collision involving a truck and a car in Kilkenny.
