Man who died has been named locally.

Mr Daly was in his eighties and it has been reported that he was from the East Wall area of North Dublin.

Mr Daly died at the scene.

Another male, who was in his 20s, and a female, in her 30s, were struck in the incident and taken to hospital with serious, but non life-threatening, injuries.
