Breaking: Multi-vehicle crash at Letterkenny accident blackspot

Diversions are in place following a multi-vehicle road traffic accident in Letterkenny tonight.

The collision occurred at the Killyclug-Killylastin crossroads at around 9pm.

Gardaí, ambulance and fire service responded to the crash.

At least three vehicles were involved in the collision.

There are no reports of any serious injuries at this time.

There have been repeated calls for safety measures at the junction, which has become an accident blackspot in recent years.

At a Municipal District meeting in 2018, in respond to a query from Councillor Jimmy Kavanagh, the Council said that the crossroads was ‘in a good condition and has appropriate vision lines’.

During a follow-up discussion on the matter in 2020, Councillor Kavanagh said: “The engineers don’t seem to see a problem at it, but the emergency services do.”
