The motorist was pulled over in Roscommon Town.

Investigations are ongoing.

Gardaí were alerted to an incident at the Dún Darrach Housing Estate on the Dublin Road outside the town shortly after 3.40pm.

A Longford man in his 70's died in the crash and Gardaí are looking to speak to anyone who may have witnessed the crash.
