3,000 attend Road Safety Roadshow
18.10.14
MORE than 3,000 young
people from schools across Donegal and Derry
attended the Road Safe Roadshow in Letterkenny
earlier this week.
The event, which is in its seventh year, is hosted
by Donegal County Council in association with the
Donegal Road Safety Working Group. It tells the
story of how a night out ends in tragedy for a
17-year old boy who has just passed his driving
test. Pupils from 33 secondary schools across
Donegal and six schools in Derry participated over
the two days. The tragic death of Kym Harley (19) in
a road accident earlier this week at Dreenan,
Ballybofey, was marked at the event.
"This year’s show was particularly poignant with the
tragic loss of Kym Harley in the early hours of
Tuesday morning," said a spokesperson.
"The deepest sympathy was conveyed by Charlie
Collins on behalf of everyone involved in the show
to Kym’s father Martin, mother Denise, to her
sisters and brother and to her extended family and
friends." |
