A 12-year-old boy has died after the car he was driving collided with a truck in County Limerick, Ireland, early Friday morning, CNN affiliate Virgin Media News reported.
The boy was the sole occupant of the car and died after a collision with the truck just before 2 a.m. local time (9 p.m. ET Thursday), Irish police told CNN in a statement Friday.
The driver of the truck, a man in his 40s, did not require hospital treatment, but was reported to be "extremely distressed," Virgin Media News said.
