A GoFundMe campaign has been set up by friends and family

A fundraiser has been set up for a Mayo woman who was injured in a car accident in Portugal.

While attending a wedding abroad, Grace Carney, was injured in a car accident.

Grace’s best friend, Tatie Turke, said on social media: “Not my usual post or a post I even imagined I’d be writing but I desperately need yer help. My best friend Grace has sustained severe injuries from a horrific car accident whilst abroad with her husband. They need to get back to Ireland urgently on a private medical flight so they can operate on her. A little will mean the world.”

Her family and friends have organised a GoFundMe campaign to bring her back safely to Ireland.
