St Patrick’s Day parade CANCELLED in busy Irish town after crash closes road & leaves two seriously injured

A ST PATRICK’S Day parade in Co Donegal has been cancelled due to a serious collision that took place in the early hours of this morning.

Two pedestrians were rushed to hospital in the early hours of this morning after they were struck by a car on Lower Main Street in Letterkenny.

The Letterkenny Chamber of Commerce confirmed that the parade in the town today has been cancelled following the incident.

A spokesperson said: “Following consultation with An Garda Síochána and in the interest of public safety, we have made the difficult decision not to proceed with the event.

“While we cannot comment on the specifics of the incident, we must prioritise the safety and well-being of our community and those attending.

“The parade route is directly affected, making it impossible to proceed as planned.”
