The main Ballybofey to Donegal town road remains closed this morning as Gardaí continue to investigate yesterday’s fatal accident at Barnesmore.
Diversions are in place via Glenties.
The tragic incident occurred in the townland of Ardnawark at approximately 3.45p.m. when a woman in her late 20s fell from a moving bus and was subsequently hit by a passing car.
