Olivia KelleherTributes have been paid to a “salt of the earth” Tralee man who died in hospital in England this week after he was knocked down in a suspected hit and run incident.
Shane Scannell died in hospital on Thursday following an incident on South Street in Epsom, Surrey at around 12.15am last Monday. Mr Scannell was found unresponsive on the road after being knocked down by a driver who failed to stop at the scene. Tralee-based Sinn Féin Councillor Cathal Foley said on Saturday that Mr Scannell’s death was a “bolt from the blue”.
“He was a lovely genuine fella. It is an awful tragedy for the family,” he said. “I knew him when I was growing up. He was always very close to his mother. He comes from a salt of the earth family. He was the salt of the earth. It is horrendous.”
