Garda probe to discover why man ‘jumped in front of car’

GARDAÍ are trying to establish why a Polish man in his 20s apparently ‘jumped out’ in front of a car driven by a young woman.

The woman was driving along the Cork-Midleton road (N25), at around 2.30am yesterday. She was just passing the Amgen factory site near Carrigtwohill, when the tragedy occurred.

The woman was so shocked that she left the scene and drove immediately to Midleton garda station to report the accident.
