Inspector Harrison also welcomed a recent report that there’s been a significant decrease in the number of material damage collisions in Donegal, saying that while the downward trend in fatal collisions has been the rightful focus of attention, the fall in the overall number of crashes shows driver behaviour is really changing…….
