Gardai swiftly responded to a tragic accident near the funeral site of one of the victims from the recent fatal collision in Co Louth. An elderly man, aged in his 80s, was involved in a fatal collision with a lorry near The Church of Our Lady, where the funeral of Dylan Commins was scheduled to take place. The elderly man was pronounced dead at the scene, leading to the closure of the main road where the funeral procession was supposed to pass.
