A baby boy has died after being struck by a Jeep in Co Roscommon.
This crash happened shortly after 9 o'clock this morning, near Ballingare.
The toddler, who was less than two years old, was treated at the scene, but was later pronounced dead.
His body was then taken to the mortuary at University Hospital Galway, where a post-mortem examination will take place.
No one else was injured in the incident.
A technical examination of the scene by forensic collision investigators has since been completed and a family liaison officer has been appointed to support the family at this time.
Gardaí are appealing for witnesses to come forward and any road users with video footage (including dash cam) is asked to make this available to them.
