- Gardai are appealing to motorists travelling between Stranorlar and Killygordon to drive with caution. It’s after a lorry went off the road at Cavan Lower yesterday. The lorry has since been removed and the road reopened. However, Gardai are warning motorists that as a result of the crash there is no longer a grass verge along the roadside and instead a drop into a drain.
