    Driver sought after woman, 20s, killed in Limerick hit-and-run incident

    A woman in her 20s has died following a hit-and-run incident in Rathkeale, Co Limerick, earlier today.

    The woman is believed to be a young mother from the town.

    The collision occurred around 12.15pm at Bank Place, a narrow road in the town. The woman, who was standing outside a house near large gates, was struck by a silver Ford Transit van.

    Gardaí are searching for the driver and the vehicle after the van failed to remain at the scene or offer assistance to the injured woman. 

    She was taken to University Hospital Limerick in a critical condition but was later pronounced dead.

    Gardaí have sealed off the area for a technical examination and are appealing to the public for information.

    “Any road users or pedestrians who may have camera footage (including dashcam) and were in the area between 11.30am and 1.00pm are asked to make this footage available to investigating gardaí,” they said in a statement.

    Anyone with information is urged to contact Rathkeale Garda Station at 069 63222, the Garda Confidential Line at 1800 666 111, or any Garda station.

    Local Fine Gael councillor Adam Teskey said the town was in “shock”.

    “There is a profound sad numbness in the area, and our thoughts and prayers are with the young woman and her family,” Cllr Teskey said.

    “A serious incident occurred in our town and our full support is with An Garda Siochana and the emergency services,” Cllr Teskey added.
