Gardaí have urged drivers to slow down and be careful on roads this weekend.

A MAN IN his 30s died following a serious road crash in Kerry yesterday evening.

The driver was fatally injured when he lost control of his van and it hit a tree on the L3025 near Beaufort at 7.15pm. He was removed to Kerry General Hospital in Tralee, where he was later pronounced dead.
