SDLP Councillor Patsy Kelly has expressed his deep sadness at
news of the death of a farmer in a one-vehicle road accident in Dunamanagh.
Mr Kelly said:
“It was with great sadness that I learned of the death of a
local farmer earlier today. I am led to believe that there were no others
involved as he lost control of his tractor on a patch of black ice.
"This is the worst possible news that any family can receive
just a day after Christmas. My immediate thoughts and prayers are with his
family and friends in this very difficult time.
"I understand the pressure that farmers are under to
continue labour intensive work over the holiday period to provide for their
families. I would urge everyone to take extra steps to ensure that they are
safe and don't take any unnecessary risks, especially at this time of year.
"I would also appeal to anyone travelling tonight or
over the next few days to slow down and exercise caution in the treacherous icy
conditions. We don't need any more tragedy on our roads this year"
