A young child killed in a hit-and-run incident in Co Tyrone was today named by police as Adam Mullan.
The three-year-old from Carlton Drive in Strabane died in hospital after being struck by a car which mounted the pavement in the village of Donemana yesterday afternoon.
The 22-year-old man, who drove the car, was later found dead in a quarry near the Co Tyrone village.
It is believed he may have taken his own life. The boy and his mother, who had been visiting relatives, were struck by a white Peugeot car shortly after 3 p.m. as they walked on a footpath close to Allen Park.
The pair were taken to Altnagelvin Hospital in Londonderry where the child later died.
His mother, aged 33, is being treated in hospital for serious, but not life-threatening, head injuries.
Meanwhile, a man was treated in hospital after being injured in a hit-and-run incident in Derry.
