Gardaí hunt driver after hit-and-run

Gardaí have appealed for a hit-and-run van driver to give himself up after he knocked down and killed a 25-year-old Frenchman in Cork City.

The accident happened at 9.30pm on Thursday at George’s Quay. Yesterday morning, gardaí seized a van on the eastern outskirts of the city which they suspect may have been the one involved in the incident.

It was being forensically examined while a number of uniformed gardaí and detectives continued to interview witnesses and watch CCTV footage in the hope of identifying the culprit.
