Interpol provide help on Galway death

Gardaí are working with Interpol in an effort to confirm the identity of a man who died in a collision with a motorbike in Co Galway at the weekend.

The man, who is believed to be Romanian, died in the accident which happened just before 10pm on Friday night when he was walking on the Pier Road at Rossaveal.

A local man in his late 20s who was driving the motorbike has since been released from University Hospital Galway after treatment for minor injuries, while his female pillion passenger remains in hospital for treatment to non-life threatening injuries. A garda spokesman in Salthill appealed for witnesses.
