Inquest jury calls for street lighting at accident blackspot

A JURY at an inquest has called for the installation of street lighting at an accident blackspot following the death of a father-of-four whose car was struck from behind by another vehicle.

Patrick Kelly, aged 63, of Marshalstown, Enniscorthy, Co Wexford, was driving home on February 5, 2010, when a car impacted with the rear of his Volkswagen Golf on the N11 at Moyne Middle, Enniscorthy.

Mr Kelly had just entered the road from a slip road linking the old Dublin Road and the N11. He was wearing a seatbelt, but was thrown on to the back seat of the car and suffered severe head injuries.
