Gardai in Buncrana have confirmed that they engaged with the female pedestrian who was killed in an overnight collision prior to the incident occurring.
The woman who is in her 50s died after being struck by a car on the main Buncrana – Carndonagh road shortly after 9pm last night.
Her body has been removed to Letterkenny University Hospital where a post mortem examination will take place later today.
