Details emerge of what happened in M7 crash as pedestrian, 20s, dead and gardai appeal for witnesses

Gardai have renewed their appeal for witnesses following a fatal road traffic collision on the M7 on Saturday.

Emergency services and gardai rushed to the scene between Junction 11 and Junction 10 near Naas, Co Kildare, shortly after 4am after receiving reports of a male pedestrian in his mid-20s being struck by one or more vehicles travelling northbound.

The male was pronounced dead at the scene a short time later.

“It is also believe that more than one vehicle may have collided with the male and although a number of drivers have come forwarded we would appeal for these motorists to contact Gardaí.

“Additionally we are asking motorists with any video footage (including dash cam) who were travelling on the M7 between J11 and J10 in either direction in the hours prior to the collision, to make contact with investigating Gardaí.

“Anyone with information is asked to contact Naas Garda Station on 045 884300, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111 or any Garda station.”
