A man has been taken to hospital with serious injuries following a crash in Co Cork.

The man, aged in his 80s, was driving a car which collided with a tractor on Saturday night just after 8pm.

It happened on the N71 at Durrus Cross in Gortnacloona near Bantry.

The N71 and R591 are closed this morning as investigators carry out a technical exam, and diversions are in place.

Gardaí are asking for any witnesses or anyone with dash cam footage of the area last night to come forward.
