A MAN from the Buncrana area was transferred to a
Belfast hospital yesterday with critical injuries
sustained in a road crash in Moville on Sunday. The
single-vehicle accident, involving a gold-coloured
4x4, happened around 7.45pm at Carnagarve on the
main Greencastle to Moville Road. The vehicle, which
was travelling in the Moville direction, left the
road and crashed into a ditch before ending up on
its side. The road was busy at the time with people
travelling on the main road following an annual
vintage car show and local music festival. |

There were three men in
the British-registered vehicle. It's understood two
of them were able to walk away from the wreckage,
however, a third was trapped underneath. Emergency
services battled to release the man from beneath the
4x4 and he was subsequently rushed to Altnagelvin
hospital with serious injuries including major blood
loss. He was transferred to Belfast's Royal
Victoria Hospital yesterday morning. It is
understood the victim is a man in his 30s and from
the Buncrana area. Forensic officers yesterday
examined the scene which was sealed off for most of
the day. Diversions were put in place while traffic
was redirected to use a lay-by in front of houses
nearby. Gardai continue to investigate the cause of
the accident. |
