Letterkenny Parade Canceled After Pedestrian Death

In Letterkenny, Co Donegal, a pedestrian was killed after being struck by a vehicle, leading to the cancellation of the St Patrick's Day parade. The driver, a male in his late teens, was arrested at the scene, and the area was cordoned off for investigation by Garda Forensic Collision Investigators. The incident has been referred to the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission due to an earlier interaction between the driver and police. In Tempe, Arizona, a hit-and-run incident left two pedestrians seriously injured, with the driver later detained by police.
