The article recounts the tragic car crash that resulted in the deaths of Kiea McCann and Dlava Mohamed, two close friends, on July 31, 2023, in Monaghan. Accompanied by family friend Anthony McGinn, the girls were en route to a ball when the accident occurred. McGinn pleaded guilty to dangerous driving causing the accident. Frankie McCann, Kiea's father, described the harrowing moment when he found his daughter at the scene, attempting to save her life alongside Dlava, reflecting on the emotional turmoil of their loss and the final moments he shared with them.
I remember my phone ringing at 18.33. When we got there, we seen the car had hit the tree and had spun around.
So when I went in, I went through the side window. Anthony McGinn had a hold of my daughter. And he said to me 'Kiea, Franky. Kiea.'
It was something you had to do. When the doctors came, we got the girls beside each other. When they were in the car, they were holding hands when they were gone.
It's hard because you remember the day your kid was born. You were the first to hold her.
