Chevron signs stolen from fatal crash spot

Scrap metal thieves stole chevron signs erected to prevent further fatalities at a spot where a young father- of-two was killed in a traffic accident.

The same gang is also believed to have stolen traffic safety alerts at other junctions in the same area, such as stop and yield right of way signs.

Following the death of Myles O’Callaghan, Cork County Council carried out a safety audit on the road between Watergrasshill and Glanmire, Co Cork, and decided to put in place a number of accident prevention measures.
