Crash pensioner cousin’s plea

THE cousin of the pensioner killed in the crash has praised communities in the grief-stricken county for sticking together but warned more needs to be done on road safety campaigning.

John Friel described the pain of families affected by the road carnage which left seven young men and his cousin Hugh dead.

“It was really nice to see the other families that were bereaved over the last number of years being there at the hospital to support the families.”
