A hospital spokeswoman said he was in a stable condition in intensive care. The dead man was named last night as Mr William Hewitt (19), from Meadowhill, Raphoe, Co Donegal.
A 28-year-old man was killed in Co Tipperary yesterday when his car struck a bridge in Ballinunty, Thurles. He was named as Mr John McGarry, from Ballinunty.
