    On 1 May 2022, a car driven by Conor Lynagh, a 21-year-old man from Kilmacrennan, lost control on a downhill section at Meenlaragh, Glen, Carrigart, Co Donegal, rolled and flipped, killing his girlfriend Charlotte Kelly, a 17-year-old woman from Letterkenny, who died in Beaumont Hospital, Dublin, on 9 May 2022. Lynagh was charged in January 2024 with driving without due care and attention causing death and driving on a learner permit without supervision, and the case was sent to Letterkenny Circuit Court. He pleaded guilty in July 2025, and in November 2025 the judge sentenced him to 240 hours of community service in lieu of 12 months in prison.
