Spectator dies in rally accident
A teenage spectator has been killed at the Donegal International Rally.
It is understood the 18-year-old boy was knocked down by a competing vehicle during the Carnhill stage of the event at about 1530 BST on Saturday.
It happened in the Ballyarr area of Ramelton

about four miles from Letterkenny. The teenager was pronounced dead at the scene.
The accident happened on the second day of the three-day annual event

which attracts up to 50

000 spectators.
Racing was immediately suspended following the collision

and it is thought Sunday's racing will be cancelled as a mark of respect.
Gardaí have appealed for witnesses to contact them. It is not the first time that tragedy has struck at the rally

which is one of the biggest events in the county's sporting calendar. In 2002

two race marshalls were killed when a rally car left the road and struck a crowd of spectators at Cloghan

six miles from Ballybofey.
