Two men died in two separate road crashes overnight, one in County Limerick and one in County Meath, according to the Irish Examiner.
In the Limerick incident, a car struck a tree. The Irish Examiner reports that one person was killed and two others were injured in that collision. The Limerick Leader, citing the same crash, reported that the man who died was in his 20s and that a second person was left in a critical condition.
The second fatal crash happened in County Meath, where a vehicle struck a premises, according to the Irish Examiner. The paper links the two incidents only by timing, describing them as separate overnight crashes.
The Irish Times reported a wider picture, saying three men were killed in separate road crashes across Wexford, Limerick and Meath. RTÉ also reported that two men died in separate crashes overnight.
Details of the Meath collision, including the age of the person who died and whether anyone else was hurt, were not included in the material available. No names have been released in either incident.
The reports differ in scope: some outlets covered the Limerick and Meath deaths together, while the Irish Times counted a third fatality in Wexford among the same night's crashes.
An Garda Síochána had not issued a statement carried in the available reporting, and no cause has been given for either collision.
Further updates are expected as Gardaí release details of the victims and the circumstances of each crash.
