A second man, in his late teens, who was a passenger in the same vehicle as the deceased, was taken to University Hospital Limerick for treatment of serious injuries.
The road is closed this morning so that a technical examination of the scene by Forensic Collision Investigators can take place, and so, local diversions are in place.
Gardaí are asking that any witnesses come forward and any road users with video footage (including dash cam) make it available to them.
