Gardaí and the Health and Safety Authority are investigating the death of a woman who was crushed to death in Co Donegal while rehearsing for an art performance.
The woman (30) was a member of a touring British group that was practicing for an aerial display that involves a large metal globe suspended from a crane.
She died when part of the display became detached from the crane and she was crushed beneath the globe.
The accident took place outside Lurgybrack National School, about three kilometres outside Letterkenny, where the Fidget Feet Performance Company had been storing their equipment following their performance at the Old Town Fair in Letterkenny during the August Bank Holiday weekend.
