  1. Newspaper Paragraph - A Tragic Accident

    Share Share Post
    On Monday evening at about four o'clock a very sad accident occurred between Kiltormer and Aughrim. At a very dangerous turn of the road there was a little named Mary Cahill coming home from the shop. A purse fell out of her pocket and as she turned round to pick it up a Ford car came round the turn and as the driver could not stop the car he hit against the girl and injured her badly.
