From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

A man was killed today after his car hit a cow.

The 34-year-old driver was the sole occupant of the Alpha Romeo car when it hit the animal on the main N7 Dublin to Limerick Road near Moneygall, Co Offaly.

The man, believed to be from Ballinasloe, Co Galway, was travelling on a section of the road at Clashagad, Dunkerrin just after midnight at the time of the accident.

He was taken to Nenagh General Hospital where he was pronounced dead shortly after 2am.

A section of the main N7 road was shut down after the crash with traffic diverted between Roscrea and Dunkerrin village.

Investigating officers at Moneygall Garda Station have appealed for witnesses.
