Kelly offers sympathy to Preece family

UPPER Bann MLA Dolores Kelly has expressed her shock and saddness following the death of David Preece (15) from Blackskull, near Donacloney.

The teenager died after being struck by a car as he walked along the Donacloney Road on Friday night.

“The death of anyone on our roads is a tragedy, but it is always that much more saddening when it is a young person with their whole life ahead of them,” she said.

“I would like to pass on my deepest sympathies to the Preece family as they struggle to come to terms with their loss.”

The MLA urged anyone with any information on the accident or who witnessed the collision to contact detectives in Lurgan on 0845 600 8000.
