TWO PEOPLE ARE in a serious condition in hospital after a collision between a car and a lorry.
The crash took shortly after 10am this morning in Donegal, on a section of the R246 at Tirhomin between Milford and Kerrykeel.
The occupants of the car – a man aged in his 30s and a woman in her 20s – were seriously injured and taken by ambulance to Letterkenny General Hospital.
The driver of the lorry was not injured.
A forensic examination of the crash site has been carried out.

Can no one drive in that county.
@Pat Troy: Yes they can, even though Donegal has third world roads as all our taxes are rerouted to Dublin for the Luas changes that Dublin people don’t need or want! Donegal has little to no public services so having a car is a necessity not a luxury but that doesn’t matter when it comes to providing funding for proper infrastructure.
Yes like every other county in Ireland we have idiots who think they’re rally drivers with no thought for anyone else on the roads and that they’ll never have an accident but let’s not tar every driver with the same brush! The full details of this accident hasn’t been released so let’s just think about those injured and hope they’ll be ok rather than laying blame.
@Mo: nothing to do with modifying their cars in north .Nothing to do with this accident ,I wish them a speedy recovery.
@Mo: ALL TAXES are rerouted, you say? To Dublin, no less? If it wasn’t the Luas line being extended it would be something else for the rural cousins to moan about.
@Pat Troy ?
@Pat Troy: Again Pat no information has been released about the accident so I’m not sure how anybody would know if the car was modified or not or indeed what caused the accident the car, lorry, road or something else. Even though you seem very sure, statistically there are more unmodified cars involved in road accidents than modified in any county here…..I think people are jumping on a bandwagon when it comes to driving in Donegal, yes we’ve had absolute tragedies with way too many lives lost in car accidents but it’s a bit unfair to imply that every driver is the same!
@Dave Murray: Well Dave time you took your head out of your ass why should the “rural cousins” pay for infrastructure outside of their own County when the rural roads are so bad that when it snows everything shuts down, if there’s heavy rain what’s there is washed away because all the funding covers is patch work pothole filling in.
Maybe instead of using the “rural cousins” taxes in Dublin for a system that isn’t needed because a more than adequate one already exists, there wouldn’t be so many people homeless but sure we can hide that shame when the great and the good come to visit and dazzle them with our criss cross city train I mean god forbid they’d use the bus that comes every 10/15mins!
That’s a straight road, they drive like rally drivers in Donegal. Hopefully they make a full recovery.
@Brianán McBride: Americans apparently
@Brianán McBride: how many times you been in Donegal?
@Colm: at least once every year for the last 40 years.
Must be one of the worst counties in Ireland for road crashes. Hope they make a full recovery.
It was american tourist. Hope they make a good quick recovery.
