Gardaí have appealed for witnesses to come forward.

A MAN HAS died in a single-vehicle collision in Dunshaughlin, Co Meath, overnight.

Gardaí are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed this collision to come forward. They are particularly appealing to any road users who were travelling on the M3 between Navan and Dunboyne last night between 12.30am and 1.20am and may have camera (including dashcam) footage to make it available.
