A man has been arrested after a two-year-old boy died following a collision in County Limerick yesterday.
The child was struck by a jeep at Abbey Court in Rathkeale shortly before 4pm and was later pronounced dead at University Hospital Limerick.
The vehicle failed to remain at the scene.
A man in his 30s was subsequently arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of an intoxicant and has since been released pending analysis of a blood or urine sample.
Gardaí are appealing for witnesses.
