Girl, 15, killed as she waited for a lift

A FIFTEEN-year-old girl who died in a crash over the weekend was struck by a car driven by a 23-year-old man later arrested on suspicion of drink driving.

Kathy Byrne would have celebrated her 16th birthday next week. She and a second woman were struck by the car as they waited for a lift home from a nightclub.

She was one of three people, all under 30 years of age, who died in the early hours of Sunday morning.
