Road Safety Radio – Car crash detection on smartphones 17/10/2026

Highland Radio is one of 21 independent radio stations across Ireland taking part in Road Safety Radio.

Join Donna-Marie Doherty on the last Saturday of every month as she speaks to road safety professionals, politicians and those sharing their own experiences on the roads of Donegal.

You’ll also hear highlights from the programme throughout your regular listening.

In this segment we talk to Eamonn Karran, the father of Noah, who died in a crash in Claudy two years ago.

Eamonn shares Noah’s story with young people, hoping it could save a life.

Noah had a feature set on his phone that alerted the emergency services of the crash immediately:

We want to hear from you. If you have a story, experience or concern about road safety in Donegal, get in touch and be part of the conversation by emailing donnamarie@highlandradio.com.
