A MALE infant has died following a fatal road traffic accident at a residential area of the Quin Rd in Ennis.

Tragedy struck Ennis shortly before 12:30pm on Wednesday afternoon after a child was involved in a road traffic accident. The scene has since been preserved pending an examination by Forensic Collision Investigators.

The boy was transferred from the scene to University Hospital Limerick where he was since pronounced dead as a result of his injuries.
