Man fighting for his life after being hit by car

A Polish man knocked down by a car on St Patrick’s Day is fighting for his life in a Cork hospital.

The man, 28, was walking across the road near Youghal greyhound track when he was struck by a car at around 8pm on Sunday.

The accident happened at Seafield and it’s believed the man, who had lived in Youghal for a number of years, was crossing the road from the grotto towards the greyhound track when he was struck by a silver Renault Laguna.
