DAERA Minister thanks emergency services after crash involving CAFRE students
DAERA Minister Andrew Muir has thanked the emergency services who attended an accident which involved students from Discover CAFRE's Greenmount Campus.
Speaking after the incident, which occurred on Tuesday, Mr Muir MLA said that his thoughts were with those who had been injured in a collision which involved students travelling in a college vehicle.
He added: “I have asked to be kept updated and understand that a number of students as well as a member of staff have been taken to hospitals in Antrim and Belfast. Parents and guardians of all involved have been contacted and college staff are in attendance at both hospitals to provide any support they can to those injured and their families.
“I would also take this opportunity to extend my thanks to the members of the emergency services who attended the scene and provided medical assistance. This has been a shocking experience for all involved and the college and the wider department will continue to provide every assistance we can at this difficult time and to support the PSNI in investigating the circumstances surrounding the collision.”
