A pedestrian has died after a hit-and-run incident in north Dublin in the early hours of Wednesday morning (July 17th).
Emergency services were called to the scene on the coast road in Baldoyle shortly before 1am.
A man in his 40s was pronounced dead at the scene. Gardaí said the car involved left the scene.
The road was closed overnight while a forensic examination took place.
