Bereaved father in call to remember road victims

FIVE years ago, Michael O’Neill was at home in Monasterboice, Co Louth, when he heard an awful bang and realised that something terrible had occurred just down the road.

When he went outside to see what had happened, he saw a lorry that had plunged into the ditch and a white van with the front taken out of it.

A neighbour asked him if he knew anyone in a little green car and pointed to it. It was under the lorry.
