Gardaí have appealed for witnesses.

A MAN HAS been seriously injured after the car he was travelling in hit a tree in Co Clare.

Gardaí in Kilrush, Co Clare, are investigating the serious single-vehicle road traffic collision, which took place on the Ennis to Kilrush road N68, approximately six miles from Ennis.

The collision occurred at approximately 9am at Caherea this morning.
