Belturbet Road remains closed following Christmas Eve crash

A main road in Belturbet remains closed on Christmas Day and Gardai await specialist scene investigators to arrive following a serious single car collision on the R197 at Erne Hill.

The crash occurred late on December 24 and saw ambulance services arrive on the scene, taking two people to hospital with injuries understood as not life threatening.

The road was subsequently closed by Gardai from the Rory O’Moore’s GAA pitch to Donohoe’s Centra, Belturbet, and motorists are being advised to use the N3 bypass via Drumalure/Old Belturbet Road.

A crash scene investigator is expected to arrive on the scene later today.
