Cllr Doherty told RTÉ radio's Morning Ireland that conditions for driving at the timer had been favourable, but that the road in question has been the scene of previous fatal accidents.
'Unfortunately locally here in Carndonagh at the turn of this year, we had the tragic loss of a young man. And here again now, a local family are having to face the terrible, terrible burden of losing a loved one.
'So at this stage, news is still coming out. We do hope that those who were taken to Altnagelvin, we do hope that there's a full recovery and we do offer to the family and the extended family our full support as a community.
"And also I suppose I have to thank all involved in emergency response for their assistance with the family, and for the local community on this and on previous occasions.'

Woman was tortured over false missing drugs accusation in Dublin flat, court hears
A woman who was tortured and falsely imprisoned in a Dublin flat over a false accusation about missing drugs has told a court she will never forgive the 'sick human beings' for what they did to her. During a three hour period in September last year in which she was put through 'unimaginable trauma', the woman was beaten to the head and body with metal poles. Advertisement She was burned with a makeshift blow torch and a heated hammer head, cut with a knife, kicked and punched, had her hair cut off and was threatened with rape, Dublin Circuit Criminal Court heard. The men took running jumps at her during the assault in a one bedroom flat at Henrietta House, Dublin 7, threatened to make her drink ammonia and also threatened to rape her teenage daughter. She was terrified throughout and thought she was going to die, Caroline Cummings BL, prosecuting, told the sentence hearing on Friday. The assault only ended when gardaí entered the flat with a search warrant, the court heard. All of the men, who have between one and 124 previous convictions respectively, were on bail at the time of the offence. Advertisement In text messages read out in court, one of the men boasted to a friend during the incident that they had a 'hostage' and had 'cut her up', to which this unidentified man replied: 'quality'. Phone video footage taken inside the flat that day was also played in court, which showed the woman bloodied and distressed and a hammer being heated up on a hob. The woman was left with a broken eye socket, broken cheekbone, broken nasal bone, broken elbow, burns, dislocated teeth, bruising and lacerations across her head and scalp among other injuries. She required skin grafts, staples to her scalp and later had surgery to remove a disc in her back, the court heard. She spent three weeks in hospital in the immediate aftermath of the assault. Advertisement Five of the eight men present that day entered guilty pleas, while another man and a juvenile are still before the courts. The eighth person is not before the courts. Mark Keogh (33), Mark McMahon (55) and Braxton Rice (21), all of Henrietta House, Henrietta Place, Dublin 7, along with Sean Conroy (21) of Sillogue Road, Ballymun and Kian Walshe (22) of Constitution Hill, Dublin 7, all pleaded guilty to false imprisonment and assault causing harm to the woman at Henrietta House on September 26th, 2024. A number of other counts against each man relating to the production of articles in the course of an offence, were taken into consideration. In her victim impact statement, which was read out by the investigating officer, the 38-year-old woman said she was 'petrified' in the flat. 'If police didn't come in through that door that day, I was sure I was dead,' she said, describing the men as 'animals'. Advertisement 'I was beaten, stabbed and burnt – tortured to confess to something I knew nothing about,' she said. '...The smell of my skin burning, I will never get that smell out of my mind again,' she said, adding that she was 'completely helpless' and outnumbered by the eight men. 'I never knew humanity could be so cruel,' she said. Detective Garda Peter Guyett told the court that at the time of the incident, the woman and her then partner were staying with one of the men whose case is still before the court. While there, the woman became aware this man was holding drugs in his house. Advertisement On the day in question, this man and another person approached the woman in the house and told her: 'Come on, we've to go', before she was put into an Audi containing two other men and driven to Henrietta House. There were eight men in the flat and a 'baby-faced' man, who later emerged to be Rice, started interrogating her about a €90k batch of cocaine that had gone missing from the home she was staying in. Rice accessed the woman's Facebook account and demanded her mother's address, threatening to rape her teenage daughter who was staying there. He started hitting her across the head with a metal pole before he 'lost control' and started hitting her all over her body, the court heard. Hatchet An older man, later identified as McMahon, whose flat it was, held a hatchet up to her face while his son Keogh, referred to in court as 'Sparky' hit her across the head with a pole. Conroy kicked her face. 'Every person there hit her,' Ms Cummings said. 'Not one of them didn't get involved'. She said the men would walk into the next room so they had more space in order to run at the woman with speed while assaulting her. While she was being hit and kicked, Braxton heated the head of a hammer up and pressed it 'over and over' against her bare legs, the court heard. They cut her hair which the woman later described as 'the ultimate humiliation'. At one point, she heard the men on the phone to their 'boss' who said: 'Strip her off and get her into bed and bugger her.' They didn't do this but they told her a 'black man' was coming to rape her, the court heard. The man whose house she was staying in was told by the others to get involved and he cut her legs with some sort of blade. They used an aerosol can and a lighter as a makeshift blowtorch to burn her. The woman thought the incident lasted for an hour and a half, but CCTV footage showed she was in the flat for three hours before gardaí entered, the court heard. The woman was visibly bloodied and bruised, extremely distressed and there was blood on the chair under her as well as clumps of hair scattered around the flat. The men tried to pretend that she had been injured outside by a third party and they were helping to clean her up, but the woman was taken to another room where she disclosed that they had been torturing her. 'I was being beaten to a pulp by all these men for absolutely no reason,' she later told gardaí. 'They used steel poles, hammers, makeshift blowtorches and lighters to torture me.' The woman was present in court for the sentence hearing and after lunch, Ms Cummings informed Judge Pauline Codd that it was suspected that someone in court had been recording her. A device had been seized, the court heard. Prosecution counsel said people had been staring at the woman and moving closer to her in court. Judge Codd ordered that there be no recording in court, reminding those in the public gallery that this is in contempt of court. In her victim impact statement, the woman said that the men had tortured her family information out of her and the threat of rape against her daughter had destroyed her. She said she now isolates herself from her family so they will never be in danger again. She said the torture she endured was the longest three hours of her life and she continues to suffer from flashbacks, constant headaches, pain all over her body 'from all the hits I took that day'. She is still waiting on a psychological appointment, she said. 'What happened to me is something I will never forget,' she said. 'I will never forgive those sick human beings for what they have done to me.' Concluding her statement, she said: 'To the people who did this to me: I hope you can sleep well at night, because I most certainly can't.' Judge Codd thanked the woman for attending court. 'She has been through unimaginable trauma,' she said. The court heard McMahon has 27 previous convictions, including drug dealing and possession, burglary, robbery and malicious damage. Keogh has 124 previous convictions, including drug dealing and possession, possession of knives, assault causing harm and escaping custody. Conroy has 89 previous convictions including drug dealing and possession, burglary and possession of knives. Rice has 12 previous convictions including drug dealing and possession while Walshe has one previous conviction. The maximum sentences for false imprisonment and assault causing harm are life and 10 years respectively. Judge Codd adjourned the case to next Wednesday, when defence counsel will give their pleas of mitigation.

Man jailed for early morning sex assault on woman walking to work
A man who followed and sexually assaulted a woman on her way to work in the early hours of the morning has been given a five and a half year sentence. Marius Lacatus (32) attacked the woman from behind, dragging her to a park where he sexually assaulted her and told her he would kill her before passers-by raised the alarm and he fled. Advertisement Dublin Circuit Criminal Court heard that gardaí found him nearby, hiding under a bridge, but he was too intoxicated to be interviewed for some time. He said he had no memory of the incident. Lacatus, of no fixed abode, pleaded guilty to sexual assault and making threats to kill or cause serious harm to the woman, who was also a foreign national, in Dublin on August 19th, 2024. He has been in custody since his arrest after this offence. He has previous convictions for robbery and domestic violence from his native Romania. Passing sentence on Friday, Judge Martin Nolan said Lacatus had grabbed the woman and physically assaulted her to some extent before sexually assaulting her. Advertisement Judge Nolan said the attack was sudden and unexpected, and the woman had every right to be terrified. The judge said he had read the victim impact statement, which he found to be understated and reasonable. Judge Nolan said intoxication is no excuse. He noted that the maximum sentence for sexual assault is 10 years and set a headline sentence of eight years, saying the violence and suddenness of the attack made it a serious offence. Advertisement Taking into account Lacatus's guilty plea, impoverished background, expression of remorse and good work history, the judge imposed a five and a half year sentence. An investigating garda told the court the young woman was walking to work in the early hours of the morning when she was attacked from behind by Lacatus, who put his arm around her neck and dragged her to a quiet location in a park. Lacatus told the woman 'I am going to kill you' before holding her down on the ground and putting his hand down inside her underwear. She managed to scream and another young woman alerted gardaí before going to her aid. Lacatus ran from the scene. The court heard the incident lasted about two minutes in total. Advertisement Ireland Swiss boarding school graduate avoids jail in peop... Read More The young woman prepared a victim impact statement but did not wish for it to be read aloud in court. Philipp Rahn SC, defending, said his client had been in Ireland since 2021, working in cleaning jobs and construction. He is the father of two children who do not live with him. He said Lacatus had come from Romania after a difficult and impoverished childhood. He suffers from epilepsy and receives his medication in prison. He asked the court to take into account the remorse and shame Lacatus had expressed, as well as the fact that he was a foreign national who would be serving his sentence in an Irish jail.
