Seven friends and one lone driver killed in worst crash on record after watching World Cup final

SEVEN friends were killed along with another man in the worst road accident on record after watching Spain win the World Cup.

Some of the friends, who were all aged between 19 and 23, left their cars behind to take a lift after socialising in the village of Clonmany on the Inishowen peninsula.

Eight people were packed into a Volkswagen Passat which clipped a Renault Megane on the country road to Buncrana before ploughing head-on into a Toyota Corolla in a horror smash 200 metres away.
