Tributes are being paid to the two young men who lost their lives in a road crash in Co Donegal on Friday night.

Ryan Glenn, 25, and Gordy Galbraith, who was in his 30s, perished when their car struck another vehicle in the village of Liscooley at 10pm.

Both men, who were from Castlederg in Co Tyrone died instantly in the horrific crash.

A woman and a man in their 70s in the other car were rushed to Letterkenny University Hospital for treatment.

Their condition is serious and both are being treated in the Intensive Care Unit of the hospital.

Another woman in her 30s was also treated in hospital for non life-threatening injuries.

Those who knew the dead men have posted personal tributes to their loved ones.

The partner of the late Ryan Glenn, Ms Stephanie Farmer, has posted a series of messages on social media remembering him.

She wrote “Aw my heart is shattered. My boy is gone and never coming back.”

Mr Glenn was along with his friend Gordy Galbraith when both were killed in the crash.

Tributes are also being paid to Mr Galbraith.

A talented footballer, tributes were paid to him by Northern Ireland Intermediate side Dergview FC.

A club spokesperson said “The Club would like to extend its deepest sympathies to the Galbraith family on the tragic death of Gordy and to the Glenn family on the death of Ryan.

“Gordy was a past player of the club at both youth and senior level and his two sons are currently playing with our Youth Academy. Our thoughts and prayers are also with the others involved in the accident.”

Gardai are continuing their investigation into the cause of the crash on the N15 road in what were relatively good conditions on a straight section of road.

Head of the Garda Traffic Corps, Inspector Seamus McGonigle has appealed to anybody who was traveling between Stranorlar and Castlefin between 9.30pm and 10pm on Friday night and may have noticed anything to contact Gardai.

The deaths of Mr Glenn and Mr Galbraith on Friday evening brings to sixteen the number of people killed on Donegal’s roads so far this year compared to ten for all of last year.
