A talented young boxer has been killed in a hit and run in Limerick overnight.
20 year old Kevin Sheehy was struck by a jeep on the Hyde Road at around 4:40am.
The Olympic hopeful, who had won a number of national titles, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Just under two weeks ago, Sheehy had become the Hull Box Cup's heavyweight champion.
Gardaí believe a black Mitsubishi Shogun was involved in this morning's collision.
They are appealing for witnesses or anyone with dash cam footage to come forward.
