A man has been pronounced dead after his car collided with a 4x4 utility vehicle in County Longford.
Gardai in the area are investigating the two vehicle fatal crash, which occurred shortly after 2.30pm at Agharra, County Longford yesterday.
A 31-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene when the car in which he was the sole occupant was involved in a collision with a 4x4 vehicle.
The driver of the 4x4 was taken to Mullingar Hospital.
The road between Ratharney, Co Longford and Ballynacargy (which is a back road between Longford and Mullingar) remained closed overnight and motorists were asked to avoid the area.
Anyone who may have witnessed the collision is asked to contact Longford Garda Station on 043-50570.
Meanwhile, drivers have been warned to take care today following heavy rainfall and very wet roads with flooding in parts of the country.
Weather conditions last night were described as hazardous, with thunder, lightning and heavy rainfall across Galway city and county.
According to AA Roadwatch, the N17 is the worst affected route, with Claregalway village impassable last night after the River Corrib burst its banks and very bad flooding has been reported at Castlegar and Loughgeorge.
There is also a lot of surface water in the Abbeyknockmoy and Monivea areas.
