Substantial reward offered by Louth Village community for information on hit-and-run incident

Keith Byrne RIP

The local community in Louth Village are offering what they describe as a “substantial reward” for information on a fatal hit-and-run incident which claimed the life of Keith Byrne earlier this month.

The 35-year-old was walking home to his house at Carnalogue around 4.40am on Sunday May 11^th when he was struck by a vehicle that fled the scene.

He was discovered a short time later by a passer-by, suffering from injuries to the leg and head. He was later pronounced dead at the scene before being removed to Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda.

Despite pleas from his family for the driver of the vehicle to come forward, including an appearance on RTÉ’s Crimecall on Monday, no new evidence has emerged.

Now local residents are offering a reward for anyone who comes forward with information that leads to a conviction.

Anyone with information can contact Ardee Garda Station on 041-6853222 or the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111.
