THE two men who died following a fatal road collision in Donegal on Friday night have been named locally.
The men, believed to be from Castlederg, have been named as friends Ryan Glenn and Gordy Galbraith.
Both men, who were in their 30s, died when the Ford Focus car they were travelling in was involved in a collision with a Kia Sportage at Liscooley near Castlefinn at around 10pm on Friday night.
Three other people were involved in the crash, with a man and woman, both aged in their 70’s, taken to Letterkenny University Hospital with serious injuries.
The collision occurred on a straight stretch of the N15, with Gardaí now trying to determine what caused the crash.
The head of the Garda Traffic Corps in Donegal, Inspector Seamus McGonigle, launched an appeal for any witnesses in the area at the time of the crash to contact Gardaí.
He said, “We would like to contact members of the public who have already been in contact with us in relation to the collision.
“However, we would appeal to anybody who was driving between Stranorlar and Castlefin from 9.30pm to 10pm and may have witnessed anything to contact Gardaí.”
