Community shock after road deaths

A Mayo community has been gripped by shock and sorrow as it struggles to come to terms with the loss of three members of a much-loved family in Monday’s horror road crash, writes Caroline O'Doherty.

Mother of four Marcella Wilson from Belmullet, her youngest child, Sean, 7, and her mother, Mary Ann Wilson, who was in her seventies, all died instantly when their car was in collision with a lorry at a notorious junction on the N17 just outside Claremorris.
