A truck-driver has been killed in a single-vehicle crash which happened in Co Wexford this morning.
The driver of the articulated lorry died when the truck overturned on the N30 near Clonroche at about 10.15am.
He was aged in his 40s and is understood to have been a driver with a haulage company who was carrying a consignment of electrical goods at the time of the incident.
The road was closed immediately after the crash and remained closed for a number of hours to allow forensic collision investigators carry out an examination of the scene.
This is the second fatal single-vehicle crash on the island of Ireland today, after four people died in Co Armagh this morning.
