Gardaí in Donegal are calling on the public to assist with investigations into two fatal crashes in the county last week.
Two young people – Shaun Kelly, aged 33, from Lifford and Clarice Rice, aged 25, from Portsalon – lost their lives in separate collisions over the Christmas holidays.
As investigations continue into the cause of both tragic incidents, Gardaí are calling on the public to share dashcam footage from the times of the crashes or to provide any helpful information.
The first fatal accident occurred on the 26th of December (early hours of Thursday) at approx. 00.30am.
Shaun Kelly, a father of two, was the sole occupant of the car which was involved in a single car collision on the R265 at Gortgrannagh, Lifford.
The car, a blue Vauxhall Vectra had been travelling from Porthall in the direction of Rossgier at the time of the collision.
Gardaí in Letterkenny are appealing to anyone who may have been in that area around that time, particularly anyone who has a dashcam and may be in a position to assist with the investigation, to contact Letterkenny Garda Station on 0749167100.
Tragedy struck again on the 27th of December when young mother-of-one Clarice Rice died in a collision at Drumfad, Kerrykeel. A male passenger sustained non life threatening injuries.
