Family’s generous donation in memory of road crash victim

THE family of a woman who died in road collision in Cookstown earlier this year have donated a generous sum to Air Ambulance NI in her memory.

Ita Cavanagh (73), died after being airlifted to hospital following a single-vehicle road traffic collision in the William Street area of Cookstown on Thursday, February 9.

She was struck by a lorry while crossing the street.

Mrs Cavanagh was the wife of John, and mother of Sharon (Harvey) and mother-in-law of Liam.

Following her death, Ita’s family requested donations, in-lieu of flowers, to the helicopter emergency medical service after it was tasked to the accident.

The family recently presented Air Ambulance NI a cheque of £2,172.61 in Ita’s memory.

Ita’s family said they would like to thank all those who made a donation to Air Ambulance NI in her memory, and also those who have supported them throughout the last few months.
