THE funeral will take place later this week for the man killed in a car crash in the early hours of Sunday morning in Derry.

Paul Crossan, who was in his 40s, was killed in a two-car collision shortly before 1 am on the Clooney Road.

The father of two was originally from the Gobnascale area of Derry.

Mr Crossan be buried on Thursday following a 1 pm Requiem Mass at St Columb’s Church at Chapel Road, Waterside.

He died died when his Ford Ka car was involved in a two-car collision on the Clooney Road dual-carriageway early on Sunday.

Prayers were said for Mr Crossan at all Masses in the city’s Waterside area on Sunday when news of his tragic death broke.

A police spokesman said a man and women, who are both in their fifties and were travelling in the other vehicle, were taken to Altnagelvin hospital.

However, their injuries were not believed to be life-threatening.

The collision occurred at 12.50 am between the Maydown and Gransha roundabouts on the main Derry to Limavady road.

Police have renewed their appeal for information about the crash to contact officers at Strand Road on the 101 non-emergency number.

SDLP MLA Mark H Durkan has offered condolences on behalf of the party to Mr Crossan’s family and friends.

Mr Durkan said: “It is with great sadness that I have learned of the death of a local man on Saturday night on the Clooney Road.”

The MLA regularly travelled the stretch of road where the accident occurred every day and knew how dangerous the junction could be.

“I believe the occupants of the other car have suffered significant injuries which thankfully are non-life threatening,” Mr Durkan said.
