Two men have been killed in a road crash in Co Donegal.

The two-car collision happened on the N15 at Liscooley near Castlefinn at around 10pm on Friday night. The two men were in one of the vehicles involved.

A woman and a man, both aged in their 70s, who were travelling in the second car were taken to Letterkenny Hospital for treatment to serious injuries.

A second woman, aged in her 30s, was treated for non-life threatening injuries.

The road remained closed on Saturday morning to facilitate an examination by Garda Forensic Collision Investigators. Gardai are appealing for any witnesses to the collision to come forward.

They are also appealing for any road users who may have camera footage, including dash-cam, who were travelling in the area at the time of the crash to make the footage available.

Woman's brand new car completely wrecked - hours after selling her old vehicle
Dashcam footage shows the moment a woman's brand new car was completely wrecked - hours after she sold her old vehicle. Adele Gough, 34, was running errands and had just come off Swindon's Magic Roundabout when a car hit her. Footage shows Adele driving along Country Road on the A4289 when a black vehicle suddenly veers off its side of the road and smashes into her brand new car. The collision destroyed the car and Adele spent the night in hospital with severe bruising around her lower stomach and whiplash on the back of her neck. Adele had purchased the MG Motor car less than a month prior and had only sold her old car earlier that day. She didn't press charges but she submitted an insurance claim which she hopes will cover the cost of her car - £4,499.

Lately, I’ve strapped a GoPro camera on too, to record the idiocy I see.

Frightening Moment Lumber Truck Loses Load, Sending Material Smashing Into Car
The frightening moment a load of lumber flew off a truck driving on an overpass and slammed into a car below was caught on a dashcam in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday, December 3.No one was injured in the incident, according to local reports.Derek Gooderham owns the dashcam that captured the dramatic moment the building materials flew down a hill and collided with a car on Interstate 83, sweeping it off the road.Gooderham told Storyful he was disoriented by the event as it happened, saying the boards looked like trees to him at first. “But after seeing it all unfold, it was an avalanche of 2x4s and 2x12s covering the highway,” he said.According to local news outlet WGAL, the road was briefly closed as crews worked for about four hours to clear debris.“I hate saying things like this, but that was probably the scariest thing that I have seen so far in my life,” Gooderham told WGAL. “I hope there’s nothing that tops that. It was pretty scary.” Credit: Derek Gooderham via Storyful
