Your support helps us to tell the story

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 in his 70s has died in a road crash in Co Kerry.

The crash, which involved three vehicles, happened on the N21, in the townland of Knockbrack between Castleisland and Abbeyfeale, on Wednesday at about 5.30pm.

The driver of one of the vehicles, a man in his 70s, was taken to Tralee General Hospital and later died.

The driver and passenger of the second vehicle were taken to the same hospital for treatment to non-life threatening injuries.

The road remains closed on Thursday as forensic collision investigators examine the scene.

Gardai in Listowel have appealed for witnesses.

Any road users on the N21 between Abbeyfeale and Castleisland on Wednesday between 5.15pm and 5.45pm and who may have camera footage, including dashcam, are asked to make this available at Listowel garda station on 068 50820.
