A man in his 20s has been killed in a single vehicle crash in Co. Longford.
Shortly after 10.40am yesterday a car was discovered partially submerged in water off the road at Clonfin between Granard and Ballinalee.
It's understood it had left the road and struck metal fencing before entering the water.
