Woman injured in crash on Clonoe bend after car slides on slurry
SDLP councillor Malachy Quinn said the motorist involved suffered minor injuries in the crash.
Speaking about the incident, he said: “I urge all drivers to take care on the roads over the summer period and to be alert for any spillages, especially on our rural roads. “I was contacted by a constituent whose car has been wrecked due to sliding of the road causing her minor injuries because of spillage, thankfully she was driving slow at the time or otherwise the injuries could have been much worse,” he added.

“It is (also) important all drivers take care for walkers and children during the summer months as I have had calls about speeding drivers across Torrent and near misses with cars.
