The first funeral of the three victims of last Friday night’s horror crash in Liscooley will take place today.
Gordon ‘Gordy’ Galbraith, who was in his late 30s, will be laid to rest this afternoon in Castlederg cemetery.
The funeral of his friend, Ryan Glenn (25), who was travelling in the same car as him, will take place tomorrow.
The third victim, Samuel Hunter, who was in his 70s, late of Murlog Lifford and formerly of Cranford, will be laid to rest tomorrow in Milford.
He, along with his wife Dolores, was taken to hospital with serious injuries but passed away on Tuesday morning. Mrs Hunter remains seriously ill.
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 at around 10pm on Friday. Friends Ryan Glenn and Gordy Galbraith, 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.
