A young Irishman killed in a hit-and-run in Canada has been named as Eoghan Byrne.
The 24-year-old, originally from Skerries in Dublin, died when he was struck by a car at speed as he was crossing a road with a friend in Vancouver last week. It happened at Arbutus St in the city at around at around 11.30pm on Sunday.
Local police say a vehicle "appeared to be travelling at high speeds" and that the young man was pronounced dead at the scene.
