A man has been left in a critical condition following a road traffic collision in Co Kerry on Sunday evening.

Gardaí are appealing for witnesses of the incident — which involved a pedestrian and a car — at Spunkane in Waterville, shortly before 8pm.

The pedestrian, aged in his 50s, was taken to Cork University Hospital after the incident. He remains in a critical condition, Gardaí said.

The road is closed on Monday morning, with local diversions in place. A technical examination of the scene will take place.
