A man's been killed in a road collision between an e-scooter and a van in Co. Sligo.
It happened just after 8 o'clock last night in the townland of Rusheen, Riverstown.
The man who was aged in his 50's was on the e-scooter when he was hit by the van. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver of the van who is aged in his 30's is being treated for minor injuries at Sligo University Hospital.
Last night's death means the same number of people have been killed on Irish roads so far in 2023, as in all of last year.
155 people have died in road collisions - up 36 on the same time last year.
It comes ahead of a high visibility road safety campaign for the October bank holiday weekend.
Minster of State with Special Responsibilities for Road Safety Jack Chambers, is urging road users to take care.
'Bank holidays, there's higher levels of activity. There's more people out and about and on our roads and that's obviously the natural position for people, going down the country for a break or going about within your local community so we know that there's of the an increased number of collisions more fatalities and higher risks for individual. An Garda Siochana are really focused this weekend on the life saver offences.'
