Following a horrific week of accidents on Mayo’s roads, two more lives were tragically lost in Ballyheane and Ballina on Thursday afternoon.
A man in his 50s died on the Castlebar to Ballinrobe Road in Ballyheane on Thursday when the vehicle he was driving left the road and crashed into a house at 12.25pm. No one was in the house at the time of the accident.
At 1.20pm a three year old child was fatally injured in the Riverside Estate, Ballina, after a car collided with the young child.
This is the fourth serious car accident in the county in a week. Last Friday night a 26-year-old Lithuanian man, Karoys Kryzevivius, died in a road crash in Balla following a two vehicle collision. The following morning at 9.45am, Declan Tighe (26 ) was involved in a single vehicle accident along the Westport to Castlebar Road and remains in a serious condition in Beaumont Hospital.
