RSA honours man left paralysed after traffic collision 11 years ago for road safety work

A young man left paralysed after a traffic collision 11 years ago has been honoured by the Road Safety Authority for his road safety campaign.

Richard Alcorn from Dunfanaghy, Co Donegal, gives his time freely delivering road safety messages to young people.

He was just 19 when he was involved in a car crash near his home in 2006. He lost an arm, broke his neck, shattered his pelvis and broke both hips.
