A pedestrian died after being struck by a van on the N69 near Dromin Upper, Listowel, shortly after 3 a.m. on September 26, Gardaí said. The van did not remain at the scene, and investigators appealed for witnesses and camera footage to help establish what happened. Gardaí said the pedestrian was pronounced dead at the scene. The coroner was notified. The sources do not provide an account of the collision beyond the van striking the pedestrian and leaving the area, and no findings about its circumstances have been reported. The appeal is directed to anyone who travelled on the N69 near Dromin Upper between 2:30 a.m. and 4 a.m. on September 26. Gardaí asked people with relevant recordings, including dashcam or mobile-phone footage, to make them available to investigators. They also asked anyone with information to contact Listowel Garda Station, the Garda Confidential line or any Garda station. The stretch of the N69 between Cahirdown Roundabout, Listowel Main Tarbert Road, and the townland of Derry was closed for examination by Garda Forensic Collision Investigators, with local diversions in place, according to reports on the day.
