12.11.08
DONEGAL roads have
claimed their fourth victim in 48 hours following
the death of a man who was involved in a
single-vehicle crash in Carndonagh at the weekend.
Kenny Kelly, 27, of Convent Road, Carndonagh, had
been in critical condition at Altnagelvin Hospital
since the accident at 11.45pm on Sunday. He died at
the Derry hospital yesterday with his family at his
bedside. |

The accident happened
the same day a road further south in the county
claimed three victims. The Mayor of Ballyshannon,
Cllr PJ Branley, his Sinn Féin colleague Dessie
McNulty and 17 year old Michael O'Sullivan died in a
two-vehicle crash at 10am at Ballymagroarty on the
main Ballyshannon to Donegal Town |
road.
Gardaí in Buncrana said the crash in Carndonagh
occurred when Mr Kelly’s Mitsubishi Evo collided
with a wall around 11.45pm.
Mr Kelly had been working as a plasterer with his
two brothers in England, travelling there after work
dried up due to the construction downturn in Dublin.
He was home visiting his family and was due to
travel back to England shortly.
Meanwhile, the funeral of Cllr Branley will take
place in Ballyshannon this morning while Mr McNulty
and Mr O'Sullivan will be laid to rest on Thursday
in Ballintra and Ballyshannon, Co Donegal,
respectively. |
