Gardaí issue witness appeal following death of Kilkenny man

Gardaí in Naas are currently appealing for witnesses following the death of a Kilkenny man in a fatal road traffic collision on the M7 motorway in County Kildare.

Gardaí and Emergency Services were alerted shortly after 4am last Saturday after a male pedestrian in his mid-20s was struck by a car traveling northbound on the M7 between J11 and J10 near Naas.

He was pronounced dead at the scene a short time later.

The occupants of the car did not require hospital treatment.

Investigating gardaí are appealing for witnesses to come forward and are particularly appealing to motorists who may have stopped at the scene of the collision prior to the arrival of gardaí and emergency services to make contact with them.
