A 21-year-old woman who died after being hit by a Garda (Irish police) patrol car in County Donegal was from Londonderry.
She has been named locally as Rebecca Browne from Galliagh.
The incident happened at 03:15 BST on Sunday at Ludden, near Buncrana.
No one else was injured in the collision.
Father Michael McCaughey from the Parish of the Three Patrons in Derry visited Rebecca’s family in their home on Sunday evening.
“I met Rebecca’s mother, father, brother and the wider family circle,” he said.
“They are heartbroken and acknowledged just how much Rebecca was loved.”
Donegal councillor Rena Donaghey told RTÉ she believed the young woman had been with a friend in Buncrana for the weekend.
A garda spokesperson said the collision has been referred to the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission.
Gardaí are appealing to anyone with information about the incident to contact them.
