30 year old Caolan Devlin was killed in a collision on the road on Tuesday
Infrastructure Minister John O'Dowd has called on those opposed to the redevelopment of the A5 to withdraw their objections following a death on the road this week.
Caolan Devlin, from Coalisland in Co Tyrone, died after his BMW collided with a lorry on the Curr Road section of the A5 between Omagh and Ballygawley on Tuesday evening. “Firstly, I want to extend my heartfelt condolences to Caolan’s parents Margaret and Gerard, his brother Niall, and the entire Devlin and Cullen families as they come to terms with this unimaginable loss today.
The A5 has been the subject of calls for improvement due to the high volume of fatal collisions on the route, which links Derry with Aughnacloy.“This is a sad reminder of why we need to urgently upgrade this dangerous road to save lives now,” the Sinn Fein minister said. Minister O’Dowd said: “I wish to send my heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Caolán who lost his life in a road traffic collision on the A5 last night. My thoughts are also with the driver of the other vehicle who will also have been severely impacted by this tragic incident.
