Family Of M50 Crash Victim Urges People To Delete And Not Share Images


The family of the woman killed in a crash on the M50 in Dublin last week has appealed to people to not share images from the scene.

Jacqueline Griffin from Tallaght died following the multi-vehicle crash last Thursday.

In the hours following the fatal crash, gardaí issued a statement asking members of the public to not share photos or videos from the scene.

In a statement released through Senator Lynn Ruane, her family says such images should be 'reported, deleted and not shared'.

They write: "The immediate aftermath of Jacqueline's horrific accident was deliberately filmed and photographed. This video and [these] photographs were then shared over a number of social media platforms.

I am confident that the majority of society would have the good sense to know that this is completely immoral and should be reported, deleted and not shared.

"It is my hope that this message is shared far and wide among today's on and offline influencers. When or if you receive these images I urge you to stop and think."

They add that Jackie was a "daughter, auntie, sister, partner and beautiful person".

They've also appealed for privacy, and asked media to not attend Jackie's funeral next week.
