Gardaí seek driver of red car after Carndonagh hit-and-run

On Wednesday 18 December 2024 at around 7.50pm, a man who was crossing the road at Churchtown, Carndonagh, County Donegal, was allegedly struck by a red car and knocked to the ground. His injuries were described as non-life threatening. Gardaí say the driver continued onwards in the direction of the Mountain Road, and the driver has not been identified. In a report published on 7 January 2025, Gardaí appealed for information and asked anyone with dash cam footage from 7.30pm to 8.30pm to make it available. No arrest or charge is reported, so the appeal is the latest development.
