Victim lost four relatives in fatal crash 9 years ago

ONE of the three people killed in the horrific car crash in Monaghan on Monday night lost three cousins and an aunt in a separate car accident in 2001.

Glenn Curtis, 27, who was a passenger in a BMW in Monday night’s crash was the first cousin of Wayne Curtis, 9, and Shauna Curtis, 5, and their first cousin Gary Curtis, 13, who died in the 2001 collision along with Glenn’s aunt, Jamie Curtis, 14, and Catherine Curtis, who was in her 30s.

Catherine’s husband, Tommy, and the couple’s three-month-old daughter, Chloe, survived the 2001 accident. They had been travelling from Nobber to Bundoran, Co Donegal, for their summer holidays when the crash occurred. The late Glenn’s family and those killed in 2001 all lived within a few miles of each other in the Co Meath village.
