A teenager has been killed in a crash, involving a scrambler bike and a car, in Dublin.

It happened on Citywest Avenue about eight o'clock last night.

A man in his teens, who was driving the scrambler, was taken to Tallaght Hospital, where he later died.

A post-mortem examination will take place in due course.

The road has reopened after a technical examination of the scene - and Gardaí are appealing for witnesses.
