Gardaí believe that there are a number of witnesses that have not yet come forward.

Gardaí have issued a renewed appeal for information in relation to a fatal road traffic collision that occurred on the M7 northbound in Kildare, on Saturday, 25 September.

The two-car crash took place at approximately 9.35pm between Junction 10 and Junction 9A in Naas when one car collided with the central median and a second car collided with the first vehicle.

A male pedestrian, aged in his 30s, received serious injuries in the collision. It is understood that the man had exited his own vehicle in order to offer assistance. He was taken to Tallaght University Hospital where he later passed away.

Any road users who were travelling on the M7 northbound on the evening of Saturday, 25 September between 9pm and 10pm and who may also have dash cam footage is asked to make it available to investigating Gardaí.
