The car failed to stop for Gardai earlier in the evening but was not being pursued at the time of the crash.

A stretch of the N7 was closed over night and for a time this morning but has since reopened.

Gardaí are appealing for anyone with information to contact them at Clondalkin Garda station or the Garda Confidential Line.
