The incident took place on Saturday afternoon.

Gardaí in Wexford are investigating a two-car fatal road traffic collision which occurred at Forthcommons at approximately 1.25pm on Saturday afternoon.

A man in his 80s was fatally injured when the car he was driving was in collision with another vehicle.

He was the sole occupant of his car and was pronounced dead a short time later at Wexford General Hospital.

The driver of the second car – a woman in her 20s – and front seat male passenger – also in his 20s – received minor injuries in the collision.

The stretch of road in question was closed to facilitate an examination by Garda Forensic Collision Investigators and local diversions were put in place but the area has since reopened.

Gardaí wish to appeal for witnesses to contact Wexford Garda Station on 053 916 5200, the Garda Confidential Telephone Line on 1800 666 111 or any Garda Station.
