On Tuesday, also around the same junction, an American newlywed called Michael Munro had died in a crash alongside his wife while on their honeymoon.
At that time, North Antrim DUP MLA Mervyn Storey said: “For sometime now I have been raising concerns with Road Service about this junction and also another one on the same road known locally at Walkers Cross.
“The accident I understand was at the junction of the Gracehill Road and the Bregagh Road at the Clintyfinnan Cross Roads.

“I will be asking to meet Divisional Roads Manger David Porter along with his officials and the PSNI to see what can be done to these two particular junctions safer.”
And today, the UUP councillor Joan Baird said: “I contacted the Road Service on September 8 about the ongoing problems at these junctions. I was out and met residents at the Fivey Road Junction where the Air Ambulance had been a few days earlier and where the signage is rendered invisible by trees.
“It is a tragedy for the people concerned.
“Residents have alerted the Road Service and police for some months to the dangers at these junctions by yet nothing has been done. When is some action going to be taken?”
