A man seriously injured in a traffic collision in the west of Ireland earlier this week has been pronounced dead.

Two pedestrians, a 33 year old man and a young girl, were injured in a traffic collision involving a car in Ballina, Co. Mayo on Tuesday.

The male pedestrian, who was taken to Mayo University Hospital with serious injuries, was pronounced dead on Wednesday evening.

The local Coroner has been informed, and arrangements are being made for a post-mortem examination.
