    I was in a taxi heading home cos of the heavy snow and some guy ran out across the road at davitts on camden street.

    Went over the bonnet, smacked his head on the windshield about afoot from my face then went down onto the road.

    The taxi driver had jammed on the brakes best he could do.

    This happened around 10.20pm

    So if anyone knows who he is, let me know if hes alright.

    Did you call an ambalance?
    Dont expect other people to. ALWAYS call the emergancy services.

    If you's left him there. your guilty of a hit and run (even if your not the driver)

    no i stayed there until the guards took my statement and details, then told me i could go, the ambulance was there in about 10 minutes.

    he was unconcious, hit his head and neck at least twice, we kept him covered until the police/ambulance arrived but didnt move him.

    Did you get the name of the Guarda that took your statement?

    If so then ask him how the guy is?

    Don't come on her expecting us to tell you who the guy is.

    I'm hardly going to tell you it was someone. Oh wait I know - it was Paddy McNamara who lives in Swords!

    Give him his privacy.

    The taxi driver kind of broke down when he was speaking to the guard, afterwards he turned the meter off and dropped me the rest of the way home. he wouldnt take money off me so i left him what the fare was plus a bit extra on the seat cos i know he would have just gone home afterwards.

    ah jaysus, fair play to him for finishing his fair. Must have been some shock for both of ye. Hopefully the man is ok. Was he awake when you headed off?

    he was gone in the ambulance about 5-10 minutes by the time i left cos i had to make a statement and give my details.

    as to the taxi driver not going to hospital i cant answer.

    speed we were going....it was pelting snow and we werent going more than 15kph because of the traffic on camden street.

    That road where the palace is is a mad spot for driving at night, always drunk people falling all over place and walking into street. Nearly ran down a guy there before xmas.
