Gardaí at Letterkenny are appealing for witnesses following a fatal hit and run traffic collision in Co Donegal on Sunday, 11th July 2021.
At approximately 2:45am Gardaí and emergency services attended at the scene of a traffic collision on the N15 at Townparks, Lifford. A female pedestrian (34) was taken from the scene by Ambulance to University Hospital Letterkenny where she was later pronounced dead.

Gardaí are appealing for witnesses and are particularly appealing to the driver of the van to come forward. Investigating Gardaí are also appealing to those with video footage (including dash cam) from the scene and along this route to make it available to them.
