Investigations are continuing into a fatal collision which occurred in Co Monaghan back in November. The crash claimed the life of 45-year-old Evaldas Starkauskas. The 45-year-old father had been living near Darkley, in Shercock for a number of years. The Lithuania native had been an oil truck driver with Roe Oils Ltd which is also based in Shercock. The crash occurred shortly before 4pm on Monday the 6th of November on the R188 between Cootehill and Rockcorry. Mr Starkauskas was the driver of one of the two lorries involved, and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Gardaí investigating the fatal road traffic collision involving the two lorries arrested a man yesterday morning in relation to the investigation. The man, aged in his 30s, was detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1984 at a Garda Station in the Monaghan District. He has since been released without charge and a file will now be prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions. Investigations are ongoing at this time.
