Another person has died on Irish roads.

A man in his 30s has sadly passed away after he was involved in a horror crash between a car and a bus in Wicklow.

The man was driving the car along the M11 at Ballynabarney when the incident occurred, being pronounced dead at the scene, according to BreakingNews.ie.

Nobody else was injured in the accident and the main M11 southbound lane between Junctions 16 and 17 have been closed off for a technical examination.

Gardaí at Wicklow Station are now appealing for anyone with information or who may have witnessed the incident to come forward.

This crash now adds to the death toll on Irish roads, with seven people being killed in car accidents across the country since Sunday.

Three men died and one other was left seriously injured following a collision in Co. Tyrone early yesterday morning in a two-car collision that took place near the Omagh Road in Garvaghy at approximately 1:50am.

The three fatalities were all men in their 20s, and they passed away at the scene. Another man, also in his 20s, sustained serious injuries and was taken to hospital.
