Seven men killed in weekend road crashes

SEVEN men lost their lives in weekend road crashes at home and abroad – with two Listowel men dying in separate crashes in Co Limerick and Melbourne, Australia.

Timothy Lane, 21, from Coolnaleen, Listowel, died following a two-car collision near Newcastle West, Co Limerick, on Saturday morning. His only brother, Patrick, passed away last year in tragic circumstances and he is survived by his sisters Helen and Joan, and his parents, Paddy and Kay.

Mr Lane worked with the Kerry Group in Charleville, Co Cork, and was travelling home to study for accountancy exams. He was a graduate of IT Tralee and a former finalist in the Young Entrepreneur of the Year competition.
