Ирландын Каван гүнлэгт болсон зам тээврийн ослын улмаас сэтгүүлч бүсгүй болон түүний бага насны охин харамсалтайгаар нас барсан байна.
Өнгөрсөн баасан гарагийн орой Каван гүнлэгийн Корклер орчимд R162 авто зам дээр авто машины осол гарч, “The Independent” сонины хуучин сурвалжлагч, 53 настай Нелл Равен газар дээрээ нас баржээ. Түүний 10 настай охин Ирена Мереакре ослын дараа Дублин хотын Темпл Стрит эмнэлэгт хүргэгдсэн боловч дөрвөн хоногийн дараа бэртлийн улмаас нас барсан байна.
Англи гаралтай Нелл Равен нь 1999-2002 оны хооронд “The Independent” сонинд 10 удаа нийтлэл бичиж байсан туршлагатай сэтгүүлч юм. Тэрээр хожим Ирландын иргэн болж, орон нутгийнхаа идэвхтэй гишүүн байсан бөгөөд охин Ирена нь бүжгийн урлагаар хичээллэдэг олонд танигдсан сурагч байжээ.
Ослын дараа тус сургуулийн захиргаанаас талийгаачийн гэр бүлд туслах зорилгоор хандив цуглуулах аяныг эхлүүлээд байна. Ирландын цагдаагийн байгууллагаас (Gardai) ослын шалтгааныг тодруулахаар ажиллаж байгаа бөгөөд тухайн үед тус зам орчимд явж байсан гэрчүүдийг мэдээлэл өгөхийг уриалжээ.

A journalist who wrote for The Independent for a spell was killed in a road accident and her 10-year-old daughter died of her injuries four days later.
Nell Raven and Irena “Ira” Raven Mereacre died following the crash in Co Cavan in Ireland.
Ms Raven, 53, was pronounced dead at the scene at the R162 at Corclare last Friday evening.
Irena was airlifted to Temple Street Hospital in Dublin and died from her injuries on Tuesday.
Tributes have been paid from across the Cavan community to them both.
The principal of Milltown National School in Cavan, where Ira was a popular pupil, has launched a fundraising campaign to support Ms Raven’s husband, Alexandru Mereacre, and Ira’s sisters, Eveline (Evey) Margalla Kemp and Violet Elizabeth Kemp.
Originally from England, Ms Raven worked as a journalist before completing a master’s degree in creative writing at Oxford Brookes University. She wrote for The Independent 10 times between 1999 and 2002.
After moving to Co Cavan, she became an Irish citizen and friends said she was an active member of the community.
She had spoken about overcoming cancer, describing how the experience had strengthened her appreciation of family, community and life itself.
Photographer Lorraine Teevan, who knows the family, said Ira was well known for her love of Irish dancing, and on the day of the collision she had represented her local community through dance.
She had also represented County Cavan in RTÉ’s Late Late Toy Show County Parade, “an experience that brought her immense pride”.
The GoFundMe campaign was established to ease financial pressures facing the family.
Gardai have appealed for anyone who may have witnessed the collision near Shercock to come forward.
