A MAN IS due to appear in court charged with dangerous driving causing the death of a Co Tipperary woman in a hit-and-run in Belfast. 

Raven Adams was struck by a car in the York Street area of the city at around 2.40am on Thursday. A 22-year-old man was also seriously injured in the collision.

It was reported to police that the pedestrians were struck and that the driver of the vehicle, a 22-year-old man, had subsequently fled the scene.
