Fatal road accident in Ireland
On 11 July 2010, eight people were killed when a black Volkswagen Passat collided with a red Toyota Corolla on the Buncrana to Clonmany section of the R238 road in County Donegal, Ireland. It was the deadliest road accident in the country since records began in 1961. The road at Glasmullen was not previously thought of as an accident blackspot.
