GARDAI in Inishowen are
investigating a horrific road crash that claimed the
lives of eight young men. The crash occurred on the
Buncrana to Clonmany Road about 10.40 pm on Sunday.
Seven occupants of a black Volkswagen Passat along
with the driver of a second car, a red Toyota
Corolla, were killed in the crash. The driver of the
Passat was taken to Letterkenny General Hospital
with serious injuries. The eight occupants of the
Passat range in ages from their late teens to their
early twenties. The driver of the Corolla was a man
in his 60s. Gardai are investigating reports of the
black Passat having been involved in an earlier
separate collision, some minutes prior to the fatal
collision.
They are appealing for anyone who was in the area or
who was traveling on the Buncrana to Clonmany road
between 10pm and 11pm to contact Buncrana Garda
Station on 074 9320540. Gardai would particularly
like to hear from anyone who may have seen the black
VW Passat prior to the incident.
