Gardai are investigating a crash in Cork in which one man died, and six people were injured.

One man in his 20s died and another man, also in his 20s, suffered critical injuries in the collision at Leemount Cross in Ballincollig last night.

Three other men and two women were also hurt in the crash - but their injuries aren't life-threatening.

The road remains closed and diversions are in place.

It's not expected to re-open before mid-day.
