A 19-year-old man is dead after the car he was driving crashed into a house in Co Donegal.

The crash happened on the main Ballybofey to Donegal road at about ten past three this morning.

The house was vacant at the time. The man was taken to Letterkenny General Hospital where he died.

The scene has been sealed off and road diversions are in place. Gardaí are appealing to anyone who might have witnessed the crash to contact them at Ballybofey.

Meanwhile, dense fog throughout the country has lead to very poor driving conditions.

Motorists are being urged to reduce their speed and use their fog lights in severe fog and dipped headlights in all other cases.

They're also being reminded to turn off their fog lights as soon as the fog lifts and visibility improves.
