Woman struck by ambulance dies

GOOD Samaritan Gloria Corrigan who died after being struck by an ambulance was yesterday described as a young woman who never thought twice about going to help someone in trouble.

“She was a very outgoing character who enjoyed life and enjoyed people and it would have been natural for her to reach out and try and help someone in trouble,” said Fr Cathal Deery, who will officiate at the 27-year-old’s funeral at St Patrick’s Church, Corracrin, Co Monaghan, tomorrow.

On Monday, the young woman, from Oriel Park, Emyvale, Co Monaghan, was taken off the ventilator machine that had been keeping her alive since early Sunday morning.
