"Take a second to send love and strength to this woman": Heartbreaking post about horror M50 crash goes viral

#1 A heartbreaking post about the recent M50 crash from a woman who lost her dad to a road accident is going viral.

Model and dance agency owner Lisa Marie Maher, sister of Drogheda United star Stephen Maher, lost dad Eugene last year in Clontarf, north Dublin.

Mr Maher, 62, was knocked off his bike and he was rushed to Beaumont Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.

With this in mind after the horrific collision at Junction 7 Lucan, where a woman was left fighting for her life, she urged people to take their social media posts into consideration and to give thought to the victim's family.
