Gardai hunt hit-and-run driver after death crash

GARDAI were last night hunting the driver of a car involved in a hit-and-run accident that claimed the life of a pensioner.

Kathleen Furlong, who was in her eighties, died after she was hit by the car in Tallaght, South Dublin at 11am yesterday. The driver failed to stop at the scene - but officers located the car involved a short time later.

There was no sign of the driver, however, officers were searching for them last night.

Ms Furlong was pronounced dead at the scene. Sources say she was from the Kilclare area of Tallaght.

A Garda spokesman said yesterday: "Gardai and emergency services attended the scene of a fatal road traffic collision in Tallaght, Dublin 24 this morning.

COLLISION

"The collision, involving a car and a pedestrian, occurred shortly before 11am at the junction of Fortunestown Way and Cheeverstown Road (R136).

"The pedestrian, a female in her 80s, was pronounced deceased at the scene.

"Her body has since been removed to the City Morgue at Whitehall where a postmortem will take place at a later stage.
