A motorist has told an inquest into the death of a man who was walking on a dual carriageway when he was struck by a car that he did not have time to stop.

Peter Fitzgerald, 68, of O’Connell Court, Doughcloyne, Cork, was walking on the fast lane of the South Ring dual carriageway on the evening of December 20, 2012, when the incident occurred.

Two flyovers were being built at the time and there was no street lighting at the accident location, Cork Coroner’s Court heard.
