'To see a body bag in which our whole world lay lifeless is something that we can never unsee'

Much-loved family man Ger Jones was knocked down and left to die by a Cork motorist who fled the scene. His family will never forget the night they got the devastating news

Ger Jones died after being knocked down in a hit-and-run near Midleton in March last year.

Clutching a body bag with the remains of their beloved on a road in East Cork, a Wexford family feel that they may never actually leave that spot.

To get a phone call at about 9.30pm on a Thursday night that your dad has been knocked down and killed on a road at Castleredmond, Midleton, Co Cork, was instantly devastating and unreal. It couldn’t be true, could it?
