THE funeral will take place in County Donegal this Friday of a local man who died last week in a car crash in Florida.
Patrick John Lynch lost his life in a single vehicle collision in the southern State.
He is the son of Paul and Eileen Lynch formerly of Townparks, Convoy. They currently live in the States.
Patrick (20) will be buried in Convoy on Friday after funeral Mass in America.
The Hudson man was driving a sports car when he was killed in a single car crash early last Monday, the Florida Highway Patrol said.
According to police, Patrick John Lynch was driving a 2006 Nissan 350Z east on Cortez Boulevard near Shoal Line Boulevard around 3:45 a.m.
The car travelled off the right edge of the roadway onto the grass shoulder, where it collided with a roadway sign and then a utility pole and a tree.
Mr Lynch, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was ejected and died at the scene, police said.
