Tragedy hit the Cycle Against Suicide yesterday when a motorcycle marshal accompanying the group was killed in a road traffic collision.

The accident at Loughmor, Barnsmore Gap, on the road between Donegal Town and Ballybofey, came 10 days into the nationwide event, and just four days before it is to finish in Dublin.

Jim Breen, founder of Cycle Against Suicide said: “Our thoughts and prayers are with our dear friend and his family at this incredibly difficult time. Our hearts are simply broken.”
