Hit-and-run car located by gardaí

GARDAÍ believe a car found burnt out and abandoned near a quarry in Wexford was involved in a fatal hit and run in which a 20-year-old man died on Sunday.

Officers investigating the death of well-known soccer player, Adrian Cogley, from Canon Murphy Park, Clonroche, Wexford, say they are following a definite line of inquiry.

The young, unemployed man was found lying on the road in an area known as Kellystown, close to the village of Adamstown by a motorist at around 5.55am. He’d been knocked down just minutes earlier and was taken to Wexford General Hospital where he later died from severe injuries to his leg and arm.
