Gardai were yesterday appealing for witnesses to a hit-and-run accident in New Ross, Co Wexford, after a pedestrian died.
The man, Mr William Sinnott (20), from Terrerath, was walking along Mary Street, New Ross, at 3.10 a.m. last Friday when he was struck by a car. He died on Saturday in Wexford General Hospital.
Gardai want to know in particular if a red car - possibly a hatchback - was seen in the area at the time.
In Co Clare, the driver of a car that collided with two motorcycles on Saturday was arrested and is to appear before Killaloe District Court today. A 37-year-old man, one of the motorcyclists, was killed in the collision, at Lackwest, on the Kilrush-Ennis road, at 5 p.m. A man and a woman were taken to Ennis County Hospital.
