Man dies after a collision with an animal on Friars Hill Road
A man has died following a vehicular accident in the early hours of Friday along Friar’s Hill Road.
According to preliminary reports, the driver’s car came into contact with an animal on the roadway, causing him to lose control of the vehicle. Emergency services were called to the scene, but the man succumbed to his injuries.
Authorities have not yet released the victim’s identity as investigations continue. Police are working to determine the full circumstances surrounding the crash and whether any additional factors contributed to the fatal outcome.
Motorists are being urged to exercise caution, particularly during early-morning hours when visibility is low and animals may wander onto the roadways.
So the identity of a man has not been revealed but his license plate has Kudos to you.I think you’ll want me to say job well done? But I can’t
Condolences to the family. Losing someone so suddenly is never easy.
So sad to hear this. My condolences to the family and friends affected by this tragedy.
Id the owners and deal with this promptly. There are a number of cows and goats roaming this road night and day. Animal control and prosecution sadly lacking on FHR.
We can’t keep waiting until someone dies to address the same problems.
So how many people have to die for them to start killing these animals. Alot of them stray animals all over the pllace. I see them everywhere. Down Hatton side same way. Plenty horses all over the place
They don’t have to be killed jeesh, just kept behind fences
We really need better lighting and more fencing in high-risk areas. Too many accidents start with stray animals.
This is so so sad
I hope the investigation reveals whether speed, lighting, or road conditions played a role. We need to learn from this
