A MAN HAS died in Co Waterford after he was struck by an SUV.
The incident took place on Thursday morning on the N25 at Kinsalebeg.

The man – aged in his 70s – was taken to Cork University Hospital to be treated for injuries, where he was later pronounced dead.
Gardaí are appealing for witnesses to the collision to come forward. They are also appealing to road users who were travelling on the N25 between Dungarvan and Youghal Thursday morning between 10am and 10.30am with camera footage (including dash cam), to make it available to them.

Bad reporting when did dungarvan road n25 become in co Wexford
@John O’Donoghue: The N25 goes from Cork to Wexford, Kinsalebeg is on the N25 between Dungarvan and Youghal. So your right Kinsalebeg is not in Wexford.
And what is the relevance of the SUV? A man was hit by a car.
@Rob Goodbody: Maybe if he was hit by a car and not a SUV he would have survived
@Rob Goodbody: firstly, RIP to the poor man who was killed. Also, he was hit by a driver in an suv, they don’t drive themselves. Plus, an SUV is more likely to kill in a collision than a regular car.
@Brian Dennehy: A pedestrian being hit full on by any sort of a car, SUV or van at N-road speeds unfortunately has very little if any chance of survival. Using Nissan as an example; it makes very little difference if a pedestrian was hit by a Micra, Leaf, Qashqai or Navarra at 80km/h. The injuries are going to be catastrophic.
@IrishSportives.ie: actually there is evidence to suggest that SUV’s are less likely to kill as the incidence of head injuries is lower, that said being hit by something moving at the speed limit on a national road means that survival chances are pretty low, unfortunately.
Try stating the right county-A MAN HAS died in Co Wexford after he was struck by an SUV.
The incident took place on Thursday morning on the N25 at Kinsalebeg. is this not Waterford??and RIP to the poor man
Another news report about a self driving car.
