Donations top £ 11,000 for two pals killed in tragic car crash
Friends remember men as ‘amazing, caring and genuine guys’
A collection for the families of two men tragically killed in a Fife road accident has now surpassed £11,000.
Tributes continue to pour in for Daniel Allardyce and Terence Thornber, after the pair were fatally injured in the crash on Windygates Road in Leven in the early hours of last Friday.
They were in a Golf GTI that hit a parked vehicle before ploughing into a building, causing it to partially collapse.
Danny, 29, a former Buckhaven High School pupil, and Terence, 27, who went to Kirkland High School, were both well known locally and were familiar faces as bar workers at Agenda in Leven.
A crowdfunding page set up by friend Ruaidhri Balfour has been inundated with people expressing shock and sadness over the deaths and making donations.
It smashed the original £8,000 target in just 48 hours and has now raised more than £11,000 in five days.
Ruaidhri said the donations would be split between the men’s families.
“These are two of the most humble, genuine, amazing people I’ve ever had the privilege of calling our friends, and they deserve a proper send-off,” he said.
Tributes were posted with donations. Louise Shand wrote: “We’ve all lost two amazing, bubbly, caring and genuine guys.”
Michelle and Mark Corrigan said: “Two lovely gentlemen taken too soon.”
One donation, for £520, was a share of the proceeds of an online tournament. With it came the tribute: “From all the lads at Fife Poker rest easy boys.”
