Tragic Road Crash Pensioner Named
A senior citizen and a young child have died in separate road accidents on either side off the border.
The 71-year-old, Kevin McEvoy, who was from the Kilkeel area, was fatally injured after a three-vehicle road crash on the Newry Road just outside the fishing port on Tuesday afternoon.
Two other people have been taken to hospital for injuries which are not thought to be life threatening.
Gardaí in Drogheda are also investigating the circumstances of a fatal road traffic collision on the same day in which a four-old-boy died.
The collision occurred in Tullyallen Drogheda, Co Louth at 5.45pm in Townley Manor housing estate.
The young victim was cycling at the time and was hit by a truck. The boy was taken by ambulance to Our Lady of Lourdes hospital nearby where he was later pronounced dead.
The Co Down accident involved the man's death and injuries to a mother and her child.
Both were taken to hospital following the collision on the busy Newry Road with a spokesman for the Ambulance Service telling UTV that paramedics tried to help the man at the scene of the crash.
He said they found a large jeep-type vehicle had collided head-on with another car, carrying the person who's now deceased and that the people in the jeep, - the mother and child - were then taken to Daisy Hill Hospital.
Also on the roads and a 33-year-old woman was today being questioned by police following a serious crash in Lisburn on Wednesday morning.
They said that one man is being treated in hospital after the crash which happened when a motorcycle and another vehicle collided on the Lissue Road.
The woman was arrested for dangerous driving causing grievous bodily injury.
