The incident occurred on Magazine Road in the city, close to University College Cork, at approximately 1.35am on Saturday October 26th, where a 23-year-old female pedestrian was struck by a car which failed to remain at the scene.

Emergency services were called and the woman was transferred to Cork University Hospital with injuries the Gardaí have described as ‘life-changing’.
