Motorists urges to slow down as Donegal mourns five road victims

With 12 people dead in road smashes in the last five days, five of them in the space of just 24 hours in Donegal, the Road Safety Authority has appealed to motorists to take care over the bank holiday weekend so as not to add to the road carnage.

Moya Murdock, RSA chief executive, said: “12 deaths is an appalling loss of life and our thoughts are with all of the 106 families who have been left grieving the loss of a loved one to date this year. These deaths should serve as a reminder to us all that using the road is the most dangerous thing we do each day. All it takes is a split second for tragedy to strike.”
