A 21-year-old man is critically ill in hospital after he was struck by a car in Dublin early today.
He was hit just before 2am at Parnell Road in Crumlin and was taken to St James's Hospital, where his condition was described as critical.
Gardaí said the car, a Nissan Micra with a 96D registration, was left at the scene but the driver failed to remain with it.
Gardaí at Sundrive Road are investigating and the road remains closed to facilitate a forensic collision examination.
A Garda spokesman said he believed there was pedestrian traffic in the area at the time and asked that any witnesses contact gardaí.
