A mother-of-eight died from head injuries three-weeks after she was run over as she walked across a pedestrian crossing in Spain, an inquest heard today.

Mary Byrne, aged 70, from Drummartin Park, Dundrum, Dublin 14, died from a haemorrhage to the brain after she was hit by a car on September 14, 2004 – just two days after she arrived in Salut on holidays.
