Tipperary Gardaí are investigating a fatal road traffic collision.
The two-car collision happened yesterday shortly after 4pm on the M8 between Thurles and Cashel where a man in his 80s was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver of the second car, a woman in her late 30s was brought to Cork University Hospital, with non life-threatening injuries.
The road was closed overnight but has since reopened.
