GARDAÍ have issued a ‘simple message’ to motorists in the run up to the August Bank holiday weekend.
Gardaí advised people to slow down, wear a seatbelt, never drink/drug drive and be responsible on the roads.
A spokesperson for Donegal Gardaí said, “We dread going to the scene of a serious or a fatal road traffic collision.
“We really dread having to call to a home to break the worst imaginable news to a family and we do know as we drive up the laneway of a home that what we are about to say will bring their whole world crashing down around them.
“It is soul destroying and in many cases it is avoidable.
