The scene was preserved for a time while garda forensic investigators conducted their investigations.

The road has since reopened.

Meanwhile, a male driver in his late teens was seriously injured in a road traffic accident on the N83 between Dunmore and Tuam near Brownsgrove.

The single vehicle collision occurred at about 3.20am this morning. 

The road remains closed and diversions are in place in both directions.

Emergency services are also attending the scene of a road accident in County Limerick.
