An Garda Síochána in Galway are renewing their appeal for information following a fatal hit and run collison which occurred on the R336 at Na Forbacha/Furbo, Co Galway on Wednesday December 16, 2020.

A woman in her mid-50s died following the road traffic collision, which occurred in the vicinity of Pairicin’s Bar in Furbo.

Investigating Gardaí now believe that the vehicle involved in this collision was a 2004-2007 maroon coloured Toyota Corolla.

Inspector Brian Ryan of Salthill Garda Station said,” An Garda Síochána is appealing to the driver of this vehicle to please come forward and make contact with Gardaí in Salthill.

"We would again appeal to members of the public who may have information to please come forward. We would also appeal to members of the Eastern European community who live and work in the locality to contact us if they have any information.

"In particular An Garda Síochána is aware that the car involved sustained damage in the collision. It is possible that this car may have been taken to a mechanic for repairs, the car may have been offered for sale, or parts may have been requested from local mechanics in recent days.”
