A 41-year old
Carndonagh woman was seriously injured yesterday in
a collision in the town involving two vehicles.
Her eight year old son, the only other occupant of
the car, was also hurt, although his injuries are
not thought to be life threatening.
The accident happened at 5pm directly outside
Carndonagh District Court as the court was in
session.
On hearing the impact, Gardai rushed from the
courtroom to attend the scene at Pound Street. The
woman, who was driving a Kia car, had collided with
the rear of a parked and unoccupied jeep.
Ambulance personnel were on the scene within minutes
and rushed the woman and her child to Altnagelvin
Hospital. The scene remained sealed off for several
hours last night to allow a forensic examination
to take place.
