Fatal Hit and Run Collison Investigation – Keith Byrne

CC_MAY1

Gardaí at Ardee Garda Station are appealing for information in relation to a fatal hit and run traffic collision that occurred in the Louth Village of Carnalogue, in the early hours of Sunday, May 11th 2014.

Thirty-five-year-old Keith Byrne was socialising with friends in an area known as Channonrock on the previous evening, Saturday May 10th 2014. Keith left a local pub to walk to his home only a short distance away. A taxi driver passing discovered Keith’s body lying on the roadway, who was later pronounced dead. Keith’s father later identified his son, who is buried at Louth Village Cemetery.

Garda Appeal:

  • A direct appeal for the driver to come forward with the assurance that they will be treated with the utmost sensitivity.
  • An appeal for witnesses or persons that the driver may have confided in over the past 10 years. Allegiances, associations may now have changed making it easier for you to approach and speak to the Garda investigation team.  
  • For anyone with information - (driver, witnesses, family members or friends) to examine their conscience and give the Byrne family the answers they so desperately deserve after 10 years of suffering and not being able to properly grieve for Keith.
