The man, who was in his 20s, and believed to be from Co Tyrone, was driving alone in a car that collided with a second vehicle.
The accident happened on the Dublin to Monaghan road near Carrickmacross around 7 am.
Gardai say two people in the second car were taken to Drogheda hospital but their injuries are not believed to be life threatening.
