Gardaí are appealing for information after a hit and run in Carndonagh at the weekend involving a stolen car.

The two-vehicle collision occurred at Magheranett, Carndonagh on Sunday at around 12.10pm. 

Gardaí say a black Ford Focus was travelling from Buncrana towards Carndonagh when a blue BMW, with a partial registration of FE63, travelling from the opposite direction appeared to lose control, resulting in the collision. 

The driver of the Ford Focus remained at the scene but the driver and a number of passengers of the BMW exited the vehicle and ran.
