The N21 road has reopened following a fatal crash in Templeglantine overnight.
A man in his 30s was pronounced dead at the scene of a three vehicle collision at around 11 o clock on Monday night.
Three people received treatment for non-life threatening injuries.
The road between Abbeyfeale and Newcastle West was closed to allow Gardaí to carry out a technical exam; it reopened a short time ago.
Meanwhile, Gardaí are seeking to identify the driver of a car involved in the crash who fled from the scene.
An Garda Síochána are appealing for witnesses to come forward.
