The third person to die following last weekend’s horrific crash in east Donegal is to be laid to rest on Friday.

Samuel Hunter, late of Murlog Lifford and formerly of Cranford, Milford, lost his fight for life in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

Mr Hunter, who was in his 70s, passed away in Letterkenny University Hospital, four days after the fatal collision in Liscooley which occurred around 10pm on Friday.

He, along with his wife Dolores, was taken to hospital with serious injuries.

Mrs Hunter remains seriously ill in hospital.

He is the third person to die as a result of the horror crash, which occurred just inside the 50Kph zone, on the Killygordon side of the village.

Friends Ryan Glenn (25) and Gordy Galbraith who was in his late 30s, both from Castlederg, County Tyrone, were pronounced dead at the scene.

They were travelling in a Ford Focus when it struck a Kia Sportage coming from the Ballybofey direction.

A second woman in the Sportage, aged in her 30s, was treated for non-life threatening injuries.

A funeral service for Mr Hunter will take place in Ballindrait Presbyterian Church on Friday at 1pm.

He will be laid to rest afterwards in Milford Presbyterian Church graveyard.

He will be deeply missed and forever loved by his wife Dolores, sisters Ila and Evelyn, sisters and brothers in law, nephews, nieces, cousins and wider family circle.

Gardai have renewed their appeal for information on the crash.

A spokesperson said: “Gardaí are appealing for any witnesses to this collision to come forward.

“Gardaí are also appealing for any road users who may have camera footage (including dash-cam) who were travelling in the area of the N15 at Liscooley at approximately 10pm to make this footage available to Gardaí.

“Anyone with any information is asked to contact (074) 916 7100, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any Garda Station.”

The latest tragedy on Donegal’s roads has sent shockwaves through a county already struggling to cope with a spike in road deaths.

So far this year, a total of 17 people have died on Donegal’s roads compared to ten for all of last year.
