Donegal Deaths
Yesterday two young men died
in a crash as they were returning from a festival at the seaside village of
Rathmullan, Co Donegal.
The crash happened on the
Rathmullan to Portsalon Road at about 3am. The deceased have been named as Sean
Graham (19) and Matthew Crawford both from Letterkenny.
The single vehicle crash
happened at Kinnegar Bridge when their car struck a tree and a wall. Two other
young men were seriously injured in the crash and were taken to Altnagelvin
Hospital because the accident and emergency unit at Letterkenny is closed due
to flooding.
They are thought to be in
their late teens or early 20s and their condition is described as stable.
The road where the incident
happened is on a bend, and just a mile or so outside Rathmullan.
Mayor of Letterkenny, Cllr
Pascal Blake, said he was devastated by the news. “Once again we are walking to
horrific news of carnage on our roads.
“It has been a tough week
for Letterkenny with the devastation to our hospital but this puts everything
into perspective.
“Our thoughts and prayers
are with the family of these two young men and the other two men injured in the
crash,” he said.
