Gardaí seek driver of silver car that forced woman off road in Lifford, Donegal

On Saturday 24 January 2026 at about 6.40am, a woman travelling from Letterkenny to Lifford was forced off the N14 at Mulnagung, Lifford, Co Donegal, to avoid a head-on crash after a silver car overtook a lorry on a bend. The woman was not injured but her car was damaged, and the driver of the silver car did not stop at the scene. The driver of the silver car is unnamed, and the sources give no age, sex or nationality for that driver. No arrest or charge has been reported, and on 27 January 2026 Letterkenny Gardaí appealed to the silver car's driver, the lorry driver and anyone with dashcam footage from the N14 between Lifford and Letterkenny to come forward.
