Shortly before 5pm on Saturday, emergency services and Gardaí were alerted after a number of spectators were injured in an incident involving a participating car at Trentagh, near Kilmacrennan.

"One of the spectators, a male youth in his mid-teens, was brought by ambulance from the scene to Letterkenny University Hospital, where he was later pronounced deceased," a garda spokesperson stated.
