GAA Player Killed In Road Crash Was Still Over Drink-drive Limit From Previous Day
THE sister of a Co Derry man who was killed in a car crash while over the drink-drive limit from a previous day’s drinking has said she hopes his death will serve as a warning to others.
Ciara McCaul was echoing comments made by coroner Suzanne Anderson at an inquest in Belfast into the death of her brother, Ryan McCaul.
Mr McCaul (31), from Drum near Dungiven, had been travelling to work in Co Donegal on the morning of Monday, December 5, 2016 when his car collided with a van on the A6 Foreglen Road at its junction with Altmover Road. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
A talented sportsman and mechanical engineer, he had survived a number of health scares throughout his life, including leukaemia as a child and in later years meningitis.
He had also suffered ill health as a result of road crashes, the most serious in 2004 when he ended up in a coma.
