The first of two funerals for the victims of the weekend’s fatal crash in west Donegal is to take place today.
Jamie Diver, who was in his 20s, will be buried following 11am funeral mass Christ the King, Gortahork.
His funeral mass will be conducted by Parish Priest fo Gortahork, Fr Donnachadh O Baoill.
Jamie and friend Shaun McClafferty (17), were killed when a car they were travelling in collided with the gable wall of a house in the townland of Baltoney, just outside Gortahork, just before 9.30pm on Friday night. Both men are from Baltoney.
Two other passengers in the car were also seriously injured. One of those young men has since been transferred to Beaumont Hospital in Dublin for further treatment.
Everyone is welcome at the church and Jamie’s burial will take place afterwards in the adjacent cemetery.
The late Mr McClafferty will be laid to rest following funeral mass in the same church tomorrow.
May they both rest in peace.
