Witnesses sought after garda dies in crash

Monday, 14 December 2009 11:49
The Minister for Justice and the Garda Commissioner have expressed their sadness at the death of a garda from injuries he sustained in a collision in Co Donegal yesterday.
24-year-old Garda Gary McLoughlin died in hospital early this morning following a collision at Lisfannon in the early hours of yesterday morning.
Two garda detectives saw a car drive off at high speed at a filling station near Buncrana in northeast Donegal at around 1.30am.
Some time later, a car driven at high speed collided with a garda patrol car being driven by Garda Gary McLoughlin.
Garda McLoughlin's colleague and the driver of the other car are in a stable condition.
Minister for Justice Dermot Ahern expressed his sincere condolences to the garda's family and colleagues.
In a statement, Garda Commissioner Fachtna Murphy said that his thoughts and prayers - and those of the entire force - were with Garda McLoughlin's family.

An investigative team from the Garda Ombudsman Commission was at the scene all day yesterday.
The Commission said it is satisfied on the basis of the available evidence that it does not need to lead the investigation, so An Garda Síochána will head the inquiry.
The Garda Ombudsman Commission is appealing for witnesses.
They are looking for anyone who was travelling on the Letterkenny to Derry road between 1am and 2am yesterday morning.
In particular they are interested in a red Opel Astra with Northern Irèland registration AHZ 5912 and a navy blue Ford Mondeo Sedan registration 07 D 8652.
Anyone with information can contact the witness appeal line on 1890-600800.

REST IN PEACE,
and today as we go out to put our lives on the line to protect total strangers, remember that it could be our last shift.
Puts everything in perspective really.

I cant even imagine what their loved ones are going through right now.

My deepest sympathies

May Garda Mc Loughlin Rest In Peace. I feel for his family, friends, comrades and all who knew him. He was such a young man with so so much yet to achieve. I hope everyone finds peace over this period.
