A man has died after he was hit by a car on the M50 late on Sunday night.
Gardaí were called to the M50 northbound before the Junction 5 Finglas exit shortly before midnight on Sunday, November 29th, after a car struck a pedestrian.
The pedestrian, a man in his 30s, was pronounced dead at the scene. His body has been taken to the city morgue where a post mortem will be conducted. No one else was injured in the incident.
The road was closed for a period of time overnight for examination by forensic collision investigators but had re-opened by 7.30am on Monday.
