Community grieves for friends killed in crash

TWO inseparable friends born on the same day, but only a year apart, will be buried today as a distraught community tries to come to terms with the loss of the two young men, who died in a crash over the weekend.

Thomas O’Grady, aged 21, and Robert Lineen, aged 20, both from Lismore, Co Waterford, were killed when the Honda Civic car they were passengers in crashed at around 2am on Saturday.

The single-vehicle collision occurred within 200 yards of both the local garda station and the 21-year-old’s home.
