County councillor James Charity has obtained data from An Garda Sìochana confirming that 29 separate collisions have taken place on the N84 Headford Road in the period from January 2016 to date alone.
He said that this data highlights just how dangerous this section of road has become, with the vast majority of accidents taking place on the section between Corrandulla and Galway City.
This presents a serious danger to locals in the area, as well as commuters travelling to and from the City to North Galway/South Mayo.
“Four of these accidents resulted in serious injury and the case for an upgrade of this section of road is now irrefutable. I am presenting the data to the Minister for Transport, as well as the Roads Department of GCC, and it is imperative that action is now taken in the short term by the Department to give GCC the go ahead to upgrade this road” he said.
