An ELDERLY couple have been rushed to hospital following a crash in Co Donegal.
The couple were out walking in Buncrana when they were struck by a car earlier today.
The accident happened just before noon on the town’s Main Street.
It is understood the couple were walking across the road when they were struck by a car at a junction close to the local AIB bank.
It is understood that the couple and the driver of the car have been taken to Letterkenny University Hospital.
However, none of their injuries are understood to be life threatening.
The road has been closed as Gardai begin an investigation into the cause of the incident.
Donegal County Councillor Joy Beard said she is praying those involved in the incident are ok and warned gardai are “not allowing any vehicles up the Main Street” of Buncrana.
The Cllr for the Inishowen District said: If you are out and about trying to get into the town, avoid it at the moment. Hopefully it opens again soon.
“If you are even planning going through the town for some reason it would be best to use an alternative way around the town.”
