Kerry GAA expresses grief for Guatemala crash victim Patrick Curtin

The GAA in Kery and beyond is mourning the loss of former inter-county player Patrick Curtin, who died as a result of injuries sustained in a car accident in Guatemala prior to Christmas.

The 26-year-old from Moyvane suffered serious head injuries while returning from work and had to be airlifted to a hospital in Miami after what parish priest Fr Kevin McNamara described as a “freak accident”.

Mr Curtin had moved to Guatemala in September and had been working for the Liebherr crane company. He was due home in March.
