Fire Escape
A family with three young children have escaped from a burning house in Londonderry. It happened in the Lecky Court area of the city at about 3am this morning, with the mother and her three young children managing to escape unhurt despite not having a smoke alarm to rouse them.
Threat Drives Woman Out
An innocent woman has been hounded from her home with a death threat that has turned out to be a case of mistaken identity. Lisa Daly has been in hiding since the PSNI warned her that dissident republicans were plotting a lethal attack, because of a mix-up with a policewoman. The Londonderry woman, 25, arrived at her Copperthorpe estate home in Drumahoe on Friday night to be told that as she shared her name with the officer it could have serious consequences.
Lorry Makes Unexpected Delivery
There was high drama on Monday when a lorry crashed into a village supermarket. Today, investigators are trying to determine how the Scania HGV flipped onto its side and careered into the side of a Mace store in Waringstown near Lurgan. The lorry was being driven along the straight stretch of Main Street when it plunged into the tiny shop at around 8.30am yesterday. It is believed any shoppers and staff inside escaped unhurt but the condition of the driver is not known. Police as well as an ambulance and a fire crew were still at the scene around 10 hours after the crash trying to remove the lorry from the side of the building.
