Search for young Irishman after hit-and-run in Spain

SPANISH police were searching for a young Irishman last night after a Swede was left fighting for his life following a hit-and-run incident.

The incident is said to have happened early yesterday morning in the Alicante region and is alleged to have been sparked by a row at a disco.

An Irishman living in the area, who did not wish to be named, alleged that the Swede had earlier intervened in a dispute in the disco between the driver and a young woman.
