Crash on ‘notorious stretch’

THE horrific crash which claimed four lives yesterday was on a notorious stretch of road.

A local resident said he had stopped counting the number of fatal accidents. Carsten Boettger moved to the South Tipperary area 20 years ago where he runs a mixed farm and the Kilcoran Farm Hostel.

“Up to a few years ago, I have counted 26 deaths on the stretch of road between Cahir and Skeheenrinky,” said German-born Mr Boettger.
