Racing was abandoned at Kells Road Races following the accident
Northern Irish rider Jack Oliver has died following an accident at Kells Road Races.
Racing was abandoned at the County Meath event following the crash in the Supersport race around the 2.2-mile Crossakiel Circuit.
The road race was the first to be held in the Republic of Ireland since 2019.
Limavady rider Oliver was in his early 20s and won the Senior Support race at the Cookstown 100 in April - his first Irish national road race victory.
An Garda Síochána (Irish police) confirmed emergency services attended the scene at roughly 13:30 BST and the motorcyclist "was pronounced dead at the scene".
The death comes after five riders were killed at the Isle of Man TT races earlier in June.
Welsh rider Mark Purslow died after a practice crash at Ballagarey, while Northern Ireland's Davy Morgan suffered fatal injuries in a crash at the 27th Milestone during the opening Supersport race.
Sidecar driver Cesar Chanel passed away as a result of injuries sustained in a crash in sidecar race one at Ago's Leap, and father and son sidecar pairing Roger and Bradley Stockton lost their lives in another crash at the same section of track in the second sidecar event.
