The car left the road and struck a ditch on the R585 at Shanlaragh near Dunmanway before 11am this morning.

The driver and sole occupant of the car was a man in his 70s who was pronounced dead at the scene a short time later.

His body has since been removed to the mortuary at University Hospital Cork.

An examination of the vehicle and crash site was carried out by garda forensic collision investigators and the local coroner has been notified.
