Gardaí have renewed their appeal for witnesses to a road safety incident which saw a pedestrian being killed last weekend after being struck by a car in Co Offaly, near the Co Westmeath border.
The pedestrian, a man in his 50s, was fatally injured at about 2am on Sunday after being hit by a vehicle while walking on the R446 road between Moate and Horseleap at Marshbrook.
He was pronounced dead at the scene and the occupants of the car received medical attention, but were not deemed to be seriously injured.
Gardaí in Tullamore are continuing to appeal for any witnesses to come forward.
