Gardaí are appealing for witnesses to a hit and run incident in Co Cork in which a member of the force was hospitalised.
The incident took place on Saturday shortly before 10am when gardaí and emergency services were responding to a serious traffic collision on the N72 at Spa Glen in Mallow.

A technical examination of the scene of the incident took place and the road was reopened to traffic.
