Very sad news.

A man in his 30s has died following a road traffic collision in Letterkenny, Donegal.

Around 12.30am on Thursday morning, Garda and emergency services attended the scene of a single vehicle accident that occurred on the R265, from the direction of Porthall, Lifford towards Rossgier.

It’s understood the car left the road and collided with a tree.

The man, who was the sole occupant of the car, was treated at the scene before being transferred to Letterkenny University Hospital. He later passed away from his injuries.

The road is currently closed to traffic pending an examination by Garda forensic collision investigators and diversions are in place.

Investigating Gardaí are appealing for witnesses, in particular anyone who travelled this stretch of road between approximately 11.30pm and 1am to contact them.
