A MAN IN his 40s has died following road traffic incident in Co Clare yesterday afternoon.
The alarm was raised shortly after 12.30pm when emergency services received reports of a collision on the N85 Western Relief Road near Ennis.
The route connects the M18 motorway with roads to west and north Clare.
It’s understood that a vehicle was seen colliding with a roadside barrier at least once before coming to a stop on the footpath.
A motorist who was on the road at the time stopped and quickly and ran to the driver’s aid, however the man was found in a collapsed state.
A second passing motorist stopped and also assisted with CPR until ambulance paramedics arrived.
Emergency services attended the scene and the man was taken to hospital, where he was in a critical condition until he died last night.
Investigations are ongoing.
