Donegal Gardai have issued a warning after a total of 34 crashes in the county in the past week.
Some of the crashes were minor material incidents but several people have also been injured in the accidents.
A total of 50 people were involved in all the incidents.
Garda Niall Maguire of Falcarragh Garda Station said people need to be more vigilant.
“That is quite a high number for all we have here in Donegal,” he said.
He also revealed that a total of 15 people have been arrested in the past week in Donegal for being under the influence of drink or drugs while driving.
He added “There is definitely an increase in the availability of drugs but also our ability to detect drugs has increased.”
Garda Maguire also said that the increased number of crashes meant further strain on both the emergency services and also hospital capacity.
