Gardai appeals to witnesses

A garda had attempted to stop an Audi A6 money near Castleblaney Garda station shortly before the smash.

The car started and was kept dragged by the car for about 500 m before striking another car, a Skoda Octavia, on Main Street.

A Garda spokesman said: "The Garda, a man in his twenties, is being treated for injuries to his face, head and legs at the Notre-Dame de Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda.

"The driver of the Skoda, a man in his forties, was declared dead on the scene.

"His body was transported to the hospital Notre-Dame de Lourdes de Drogheda where a post mortem examination will be carried out by the state pathologist.

"The driver of the silver Audi, a man in his forties, was arrested at the scene and detained at Carrickmacross Garda station under section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act 1984.

"Main Street is closed for investigators, forensic investigators, and Garda crime scene investigators to conduct a review of the area." Local deviations are in place.

"All witnesses are kindly requested to contact the Carrickmacross Garda station at 042 9690190."
