Gardai are investigating a fatal crash on the N11 Wexford to Dublin road last night.

A pedestrian, a man in his late 30's or early 40's, was killed when he was hit by a car between junctions 7 and 8 in Co Wicklow.

The woman driving the car was taken to St Vincent’s Hospital where she remains this morning. Her injuries are not believed to be too serious.

The road was closed northbound for a time, but has since re-opened.
