A man, aged in his 20s, has died after being struck by a car in Co Donegal in the early hours of Sunday morning.

Shortly after 1.30am, gardaí and emergency services responded to a collision involving a car and a pedestrian at Ballynally, near Moville.

The pedestrian, a man in his 20s, was pronounced deceased at the scene. The driver of the car was taken to hospital for assessment.

The scene is preserved to allow Garda forensic collision investigators to examine the area, and local traffic diversions are in place.

The local coroner has been notified, and the man's body has been removed to the mortuary at Letterkenny University Hospital, where a postmortem examination will take place.
