Father-to-be appeals for help tracking down the 'bastards' who smashed his car in hit-and-run

A father-to-be has appealed for help tracking down the “bastards” who may have written off his car in a suspected hit-and-run smash just days before his partner is due to give birth to their first child.

Alex, a member of the Defence Forces Army Band based at Collins Barracks in Cork, said he and his partner, Sarah, who live in the Old Youghal Road area of the city, have now been left without a car for the hospital journey just days before her due date.
