Ireland man killed on way home from bingo

A 66 year old man on his way home from playing bingo in Buncrana was killed in a horrific car crash on Sunday night, along with 7 young men. The two car collision took place on the Drumfree to Clonmany road, which has been the scene of other accidents in the past.

The late night accident occurred in County Donegal, approximately 15 miles from the Northern Ireland border, and involved men from 3 different parishes. 7 of the dead, all in their late teens and early twenties, were travelling in a Volkswagen Passat which is believed to have hit a Renault before crashing into the Toyota Corolla being driven by Hugh Friel from Clonmany. The driver of the Passat is in a critical condition in Letterkenny General Hospital.

Donegal senator Cecelia Keaveney said it was “an ordeal” for all of the families involved. “Because of the close-knit community it affects very, very many people in Inishowen particularly,” she said. “We have had so many fatalities on the roads over the past decades, for many families, this will reawaken the difficulties they faced. The immediate concern is for the families, but it will reawaken histories for many people as well.”

Brian Cowen, the Irish Prime Minister and Martin McGuinness, the Northern Ireland Deputy First Minister, were amongst those sending condolence messages.
