A woman killed when she was struck by a car outside Donegal Town last night was returning from a country music event.
The tragic victim has been named as Kathleen Pryal from Spierstown, outside Donegal Town.
The 69-year-old woman was a huge fan of music and had just got off a bus when she was struck by a car.
Mrs Pryal, was just a couple of hundred yards from her home when she was struck by the car at Tinnycahill at Clar near Donegal Town around 8pm.
Gardai and the other emergency services rushed to the scene of the accident.
Unfortunately, Ms Pryal (nee Harvey) was pronounced dead at the scene despite the best efforts of Gardai to save her.
Her remains were taken to Letterkenny University Hospital where a full post mortem is to be carried out.

Gardai sealed off the road and carried out a full forensic examination of the scene.
Mr Pryal’s husband Martin was being comforted by family and friends yesterday.
A neighbour of Ms Pryal’s said “Kathleen was the kindest person. She lived for country music.
“She was a quiet person and herself and her husband Martin are the nicest people. It’s all just very sad and everyone is shocked by what has happened.”
Gardai are appealing for anybody who was in the area at the time and who may have dashcam footage to get in touch.
Mrs Pryal’s funeral details are yet to be finalised.
