A man has appeared in court in Co Donegal after a pedestrian was critically injured in an alleged hit-and-run incident.
Kevin Grant appeared before a special sitting of Letterkenny District Court this evening.
Mr Grant, aged 36, of Páirc Mór, Buncrana, faces a total of eight charges arising out of the incident.
They include endangerment, two counts of dangerous driving, refusing to give information, refusing to give a sample and three charges under the Road Traffic Act connected with an alleged hit-and-run incident.
His appearance follows an incident on Main Street in Clonmany in the early hours of Sunday morning.
The incident resulted in a pedestrian aged in his 60s being seriously injured on the street after he was struck by a vehicle.
The man was taken to Letterkenny University Hospital but was later transferred to Beaumont Hospital in Dublin.
A Garda spokesperson confirmed that the victim remains in a critical condition.
In a follow-up operation, Mr Grant was arrested and detained at a garda station in the Donegal division.
At today's special sitting, Detective Sergeant Killian Callaghan gave evidence of arrest, charge and caution of Mr Grant and told the court that the accused made no reply when charged with the offences.
