Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Hit and Run Driver Sought

    Early on the morning of Monday 9th Sept 2016 , around 12.45am, a woman, probably in her 20s, wearing glasses and driving a small dark blue Volkswagen of some sort crashed into a parked car on Kilcullen Main street,co kildare causing thousands of euros worth of damage to the car she hit and also causing damage to another car nearby. She then turned her car around and drove without headlights back up the town in the direction she had come from( Athy road) and made a hasty escape.
    Needless to say that this is a pathetic, low life kind of crime and the perpetrator should be brought to justice. If anyone knows someone with a small blue Volkswagen whose car is suddenly damaged on the front and front left side today then please let me know or contact Kilcullen or Naas garda stations with your information. The person who caused this accident is a threat to others and should not be on the roads.

    Do you mean Friday the 9th of Sept or Monday the 5th of September OP?

    Not too sure you're in the right forum. Half of the crowd here would call anyone with information a "rat". It's also highly likely that this "lady" had no insurance.
    Oh the ironing.

    I saw that victims car outside Super Valu this morning, looked like a fair smack it got on the rear quarter in fairness. Try Applegreen as they might have forecourt cctv that might get something. Unfortunately I don't think there's anything beyond them on that side of Kilcullen with cameras on the road.

    Sadly I'd imagine that blue car is now under a tarp out the back of a house with no plates on it not to see the light of day. Infuriating tbh

    Garda forensics are usually good at tracing cars from paint flakes left behind.
    It's how they found the killer of the kid in cabra a few years ago.

    The incident happened at 12.45 am on Monday 12th Sept. If the woman involved was drunk or drugged then better that she is put off the road before she kills someone. I thought that maybe she would have had the decency to come forward once she had sobered up but my faith in human nature was obviously misplaced. The gardai will find her soon and then she will have "leaving the scene of an accident to add to her charges".

    What are the guards doing in the mean time?
    Get to the place of impact and look for any shops/businesses that have cctv outside.
    Id also get onto any garages or scrap yards and ask havethey had vws come in with serious damage.
    I seriously doubt the person is going to drive that car until its either repaired or destroyed.

    Murder and fender-bender don't get equal forensic attention.

    I have done the things you mention and the Gardai are looking at cctv from the area.
