Family ask mourners to pray for driver

The heartbroken family of the rally photographer who lost his life in Sunday’s horrific accident has asked mourners to pray for the driver involved in the tragedy.

As Joe Lane was laid to rest yesterday in Clarinbridge, Co Galway, his only son asked the congregation to pray for Michael Conlon, who was in the car at the centre of the accident.

Speaking at his father’s funeral, Graham Lane also prayed for the seven survivors of the crash — including the driver and co-driver — to make a full recovery.
