The father-of-five who died at the scene of a road traffic collision near Lisnaskea yesterday has been named as Daniel Lavelle. Mr Lavelle was a 40-year-old married man and father from the Donagh area of Co. Fermanagh.
He coached a local girls' soccer team and was a past pupil of Ballagh and Donagh Primary School. Friends and neighbours have been paying their condolences to Mr Lavelle's wife, Eilish, their children and extended family. One online post simply reads "So awful. So cruel."

The driver of the lorry, a 48-year-old man, has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and remains in custody at this time.
