The man who died in a tragic accident in Co Roscommon yesterday evening has been named locally as Pat McCrann.
He was working on the family farm in Sheepwalk, Frenchpark, when a tyre exploded, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
The 50-year-old ran a tyre business in the area, called Pat McCrann Tyres.
