The man, the driver and sole occupant of the car, was pronounced dead at the scene.

A MAN IN his 30s has died following a fatal road traffic collision in the early hours of the morning in Loughrea, Co Galway. 

At 6.30am, gardaí and emergency services attended the scene of a single vehicle collision on the Loughrea to Ballyglass Road near Kylemore Village.

The man, the driver and sole occupant of the car, was pronounced dead at the scene after his car collided with a wall. 

His body has been removed to Portiuncula University Hospital in Ballinasloe where a post-mortem examination will be carried out.
