A GoFundMe page has been set up to cover the funeral costs of a 17-year-old boy, irishmirror.ie reports.
Evening was pronounced dead at the scene.
A GoFundMe page has been set up to pay for the deceased teenager’s funeral expenses, and donations can be made here.
The description of the fundraiser set up in his name reads: “The evening tragically died when the 2024 was hit by a car on the N17 near Knock on Saturday 30 March. He was only 17 years old.
No one could have predicted or prepared for these unfortunate circumstances.
As you well know, funeral expenses can be quite high, so we are looking for donations from the public to help the Gudaitis family say goodbye to their son for the last time.
Any donation, big or small, will be greatly appreciated towards the funeral expenses.”
The family had hoped to raise €5,000, but by Monday more than €7,000 had already been raised.
Local police are looking for witnesses to this horrific incident.
“The collision occurred at approximately 9:20 p.m. and involved a car and a pedestrian. The pedestrian, a teenager, was pronounced dead at the scene. His body has been taken to Mayo University Hospital where a post-mortem examination will be carried out,” the police statement said.
Police are asking all road users who may have video footage from the scene to come forward.
