A man has died, and two other people have been injured in a crash in Co Wexford.

The collision, which involved a lorry and two cars, occurred between Kyle Cross and Oylegate shortly before 5pm on Wednesday.

A man aged in his 50s was pronounced dead at the scene.

Two other individuals received medical treatment at the scene for injuries believed to be non-life-threatening.

One man, aged in his 20s, has been arrested and is detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act 1984, at a Garda station in Co Wexford.

Gardaí said the road would remain closed overnight for a forensic examination.

They are appealing for any witnesses to the collision to come forward.
