Driver who ran over club official walks free

A HIT-AND-RUN driver involved in a crash resulting in the death of a senior official of a Cork rugby club has walked free from a Canadian court.

Val Murphy, 68, who was Dolphin RFC’s honorary treasurer, died in hospital 10 days after he was hit by a car in June 2003.

The club’s secretary, Michael O’Riordan, was injured but made a full recovery and was able to return home a few days later
