Gardai have issued an appeal for information after a man in his 60s died following a crash in Co Longford.

A car and an SUV were involved in the collision on a local road in Cleenrath near Augnacliffe shortly after 4pm on Thursday.

The driver and sole occupant of the car, a man in his late 60s, was pronounced dead at the scene a short time later.

The two occupants of the SUV were taken by ambulance to Cavan Hospital. A Garda spokesperson said their injuries are not thought to be life-threatening.
