In the early hours of Sunday the 26th June 2011, 20 year old Fintan Traynor was walking home after a night out in Castleblaney, Co. Monaghan.
At Lemgare, Clontibret, he was struck by a vehicle and was fatally injured.
The driver of the offending vehicle failed to stop and fled the scene.
Tomorrow is the 11th Anniversary of Fintan's death and Monaghan Gardai are once again renewing their appeal for information concerning this fatal hit and run.
Past appeals have centered on an old model Audi A4 – 1995 to 2001 model – which was believed to be the type of vehicle involved in the collision.
The front lower portion of the grille of such a vehicle was located at the scene of the collision.
Despite the investigation that has been carried out, this vehicle or driver have not been located to date.
Local gardai are seeking further assistance in locating the vehicle and driver involved.
In their appeal gardai have said that In 11 year’s loyalties, friendships and relationships change and perhaps someone that felt unable to come forward before is now in a position to provide the investigation team with the vital information that would locate the vehicle and driver.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Monaghan Garda Station at 047 77240, Crimestoppers at 1800 25 00 25
