County Donegal has seen its fair amount of tragedy over the past number of years but perhaps last night’s fatal car crash is at the top of the list.
Gardai in Donegal have launched an investigation in a tragic fatal crash that occurred in Donegal last evening.
At approximately 9pm last night, four young men were tragically killed in a tragic road accident which occurred at a bridge near Meenaclady between Gaoth Dobhair and Gortahork.
The men have been named as John Harley from Fál Carragh and Mícheál Roarty from Gaoth Dobhair, both aged 24, Shaun Harkin from Fál Carragh who was 22, and Daniel Scott from Gort an Choirce who was 23.
It’s understood that there was no other vehicle involved in the accident.
The local Parish Priest has said that a total of three communities are banding together in efforts to support the families of the men at this time.
Gardai are appealing for witnesses of the crash to contact the Confidential Line on 1800-66-61-11.
