Donegal: Two Young Men From Londonderry Die in Cross-Border Crash
Two 18-year-olds from Derry died in a collision involving a car and cattle trailer lorry on a known blackspot; 25 people have died on Irish roads this year.
- On Tuesday, a Vauxhall Corsa collided with a Volvo FH 500 lorry towing a cattle trailer on the R236 at St Johnston at about 11.15pm, killing two young men and seriously injuring a third.
- Local business owners and residents described the site near the Presbyterian Church as a `bad bend` and `accident blackspot` that `requires urgent attention`.
- Authorities say one passenger died at the scene and another later at Altnagelvin Hospital, while the driver was transferred to the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast with serious injuries.
- Garda Forensic Collision Investigators closed the R236 for a technical examination, set local diversions, and the road reopened on Wednesday afternoon.
- Gardaí asked witnesses to come forward and appealed for dash-cam footage, as the crash adds to a recent rise in road deaths this year.
