Darry: Huge outpouring of support for his family
GARDAÍ are investigating the possibility that the car crash in which a 23-year-old Donegal man was critically injured was caused by another vehicle.
Officers have found the incident on Thursday morning to be unusual and are trying to establish how the BMW car being driven by popular Lifford man Darry McDaid careered across four lanes of traffic before crashing into a wall.
Forensic experts spent 12 hours at the scene in a bid to establish how the crash was caused.
Gardaí are now investigating the possibility that someone else, or another vehicle, may have been involved in the crash and then left the scene.
Officers believe there was a third party involvement in the incident.
Darry remains in a critical condition in hospital.
There has been a huge outpouring of support for him and his family members as they struggle to come to terms with the awful incident.
Hundreds of messages of support – many from friends in Doncaster in England where he worked – have been posted on his Facebook page.
“You said you’re always strong Irish and you’re not afraid of anything. Fight mate fight,” said one friend.
Anyone with information on the crash just before 1am on Thursday is asked to call Letterkenny Garda Station.
A Garda spokesman said: “Gardaí at Letterkenny Co Donegal are appealing for witnesses to a serious single vehicle road traffic collision which occurred on the Derry Road at Drumnahoagh, Letterkenny at approximately 12.50am yesterday morning (Thursday) 20th March 2014.
“A silver BMW 3 Series ( 02 DL registration) collided with traffic signs and a telephone pole at the above location. The male driver and only occupant was seriously injured in the collision.
“Investigating Gardaí are appealing for any person who may have travelled on the road or observed the BMW prior to the collision to contact them at Letterkenny Garda Station on 074-9167100, the Garda Confidential Line 1-800-666-111 or any Garda Station.”
